We can only imagine what the United Nations must have been going through as they prepared to kickoff the U.N. Decade of Action for Road Safety. The message speaks for itself – so many are injured or killed every year in traffic accidents that the need for action is readily apparent. But therein lies the problem.
Because it’s such an important issue, you really need a world-class spokesperson. You need a figure with the skill and expertise to persuade our nation’s sharpest young minds of the need to look both ways, wear a helmet while biking, and put on your seatbelt.
Thankfully, the United Nations isn’t hurting for sharp young minds themselves, and they quickly latched on to the perfect spokesperson for road safety – Grover, of Sesame Street.
Watch Grover in action in these three PSAs below. Then tell us if you think the United Nations made the right choice.
For the last four years we’ve recorded Public Service Announcements with State Attorneys General from all over the country. They’ve always been a highlight of our year, and pretty successful. However, we thought they might be a little dry for younger viewers.
We recorded a set of PSAs for Attorneys General this year, but we did something a little different this time. We made them a little more interesting.
We recorded 13 animated PSAs and 12 radio PSAs with 23 Attorneys General (2 recorded radio and animated) and we very much hope you’ll enjoy the final product. Check out our YouTube channel to see all of the PSAs, or see if your Attorney General recorded a PSA.
We’d like to thank all the Attorneys General who demonstrated their commitment their state’s children, and everyone who helped us get these PSAs on the air.
