CTS partnered with Minnesota TZD to highlight the dangers of distracted and impaired driving at Open Streets Minneapolis on Saturday, October 1.
In its second year on campus, Open Streets closed several roads to traffic on the East and West Bank and invited students and area residents to walk, bike, skate, and play. Exhibits featured a variety of U of M offices, transportation organizations such as Metro Transit and Nice Ride, local businesses, and arts and entertainment.
The CTS booth featured a pedal cart and “drunk goggles,” provided by TZD. Visitors learned how treacherous it is to drive while distracted or intoxicated by using the pedal cart while either texting or wearing the goggles.
