Project Roadblock

Project Roadblock is a multiplatform drunk driving prevention campaign exclusive to local broadcast television stations and is the largest annual station-supported initiative of a single PSA campaign. Sponsored by TVB, the U.S. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Ad Council, Project Roadblock highlights the dangers of drinking and driving and subsequently motivates men 21-34 years-old to stop driving ‘buzzed.’

For over 20 years, Project Roadblock has proven its ability to inspire change, create impact, and save lives. However, even with this monumental effort, there is still work to be done. In 2023 there were over 12,000 fatalities involving alcohol-impaired driving, or roughly one fatality every 42 minutes. Your support of Project Roadblock raises awareness on this important issue, as we strive to put the brakes on drunk driving. With your help this upcoming December, the road to safety continues.

It's important to support Project Roadblock during the December 26 - 31 period, which is historically one of the most dangerous times to be on the road. Get ahead of the curve by downloading and slotting these PSAs into these dates!
