MISSION

The RADD California Coalition was formed to develop and implement innovative mass-market campaigns that combine marketing techniques, entertainment content and science-based methods to promote solutions such as safe rides and designated drivers, and provide incentives for positive behavior on California's roads.

RADD receives funding to administer the Coalition from the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control through a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, a department of the California Business, Transportation, and Housing Agency (BTH).

SCOPE
The impaired-driving prevention work of the RADD California Coalition is threefold:

1. Annually undertake a minimum of one statewide mass-market awareness campaign sponsored by the Coalition;

2. Foster a variety of appropriate partnership activities among Coalition members, and

3. Spotlight and reward outstanding efforts by individual Coalition members.
