Recycled Rides® program, provided extrication training for nearly 5,000 First
Responders with the First Responder Emergency Extrication (F.R.E.E.™) program, and helps educate students and adult drivers in communities around the country through the
Drive Out Distraction initiative. Our membership does this in a direct effort to make our communities safer for everyone.
