Since 1985, TEAM Georgia has worked to save lives and reduce injuries on Georgia’s roads and waterways. TEAM Georgia is a safe and sober driving coalition, comprised of business leaders, government and public safety officials, and members of Atlanta’s professional sporting teams. Our unique alliance joins the state’s most prominent and progressive champions of highway safety with Georgia’s professional sporting heroes.

 

Mission Statement:  To serve as an effective and progressive highway and waterway safety advocacy group, encouraging safe and sober driving choices as a means of reducing transportation crashes, injuries and fatalities.

 

Board of Directors:   TEAM Georgia draws its strength from the varied talents and resources of its many players. The TEAM Georgia Board of Directors now numbers well over 50 leaders from Georgia’s premier corporations, professional sporting teams, media outlets and private safety organizations, and also includes key representatives from the highway safety community in the areas of legislation, enforcement and public education.

 
TEAM Georgia programs. . .

 

* Designated Driver Booths have been located at the Georgia Dome, Philips Arena, Gwinnett Arena and Turner Field. TEAM Georgia’s Designated Driver Booth volunteers encourage the use of a designated driver when attending sporting, music and cultural events.  A TEAM GA spokesperson asks fans to sign up prior to and during the Games and other events at our venues.  Since the Designated Booth began, over 450,000 fans have registered to serve as Designated Drivers, received information on impaired driving and Georgia’s DUI laws.

 

*The Safe Holiday campaign, a metro-wide program to unite Atlanta employers, members of the hospitality community, and restaurants and bars in encouraging safe and responsible holiday celebrations. Last year, more than 100 local bars and restaurants participated in the campaign; while more than 1,500 Safe Holiday corporate guides were distributed through the many community organizations.

 

*Public Service Messages at Turner Field. A TEAM Georgia spokesperson and an Atlanta Braves NEW PLAYER EACH YEAR deliver a winning message for TEAM Georgia. The team representative appears in a TEAM Georgia PSA viewed by thousands of fans, encouraging safe and sober driving choices. There is also an alcohol awareness night at TEAM Georgia night with The Atlanta Braves.

 

*The Designated Skipper Program, a public education effort to take the rules of the road to Georgia’s most popular and populated waterways. Now in its seventh season, the Designated Skipper Program urges boat operators to pledge not to drink on the water and distributes boating safety tips along Georgia’s premier waterways. TEAM Georgia member and Olympic Gold Medalist Steve Lundquist has been one of the campaign’s spokesperson since its inception.

 

**Seat Belt Programs. As one the state’s most active advocates for seat belt use, TEAM Georgia works in partnership with national and state highway safety officials to support Georgia’s Primary Seat Belt Law and encourage habitual seat belt and child safety seat use.
