Narrative
Choose the Right Road(ROAD)is a prevention program developed by the Pcudre Valley Health
System to decrease the number of people who drive while under the influence of alcohol in Larimer
County. The Choose the Right Road program has been working to prevent impaired driving, injuries and
accidents, and fatalities in Larimer County since 1999.This program works in collaboration with local
businesses,low enforcement, health care providers,Colorado State University, Larimer County School
Districts,and other community sectors to reduce the number of Individuals who drive while impaired.
The Choose the Right Road program includes a number of strategies that decrease the amount of people
who drive while intoxicated in the community. A primary strategy is prevention through education by
working in collaboration with community members and serving on community coalitions and
committees. This approach allows community organizations to come together to discuss issues around
impaired driving and develop and implement evidence based programs and activities to reduce the
prevalence of impaired driving in our county.
Established programs of Choose the Right Road include the Smart Ride designated driver campaign,a
workshop for youth ages 14.16,awareness pledge activities for pram,homecoming and National
Drugged Driving Prevention month,TIPS(Training Intervention Procedures)for college students and
supporting social norms campaigns. New programs include a teen driver safety committee that is
organizing to include addressing DUI prevention. Larimer County also has a DUI task force to
coordinate county wide enforcement efforts with the Sheriffs office.
