The ATA is relaunching its SafeT360 campaign🚛

Rolling out ahead of Truck Week 2026, it tackles a critical issue: helping drivers safely share the road with trucks.

The campaign features three videos focused on blind spots, stopping distances, and safe overtaking—key risks every driver should understand.
It also uses immersive VR 🥽 to put participants in the driver’s seat and experience the challenges truck drivers face every day.

After COVID paused in-person delivery, Steering the Future is expanding the program across schools and career fairs—with growing interest.

Safer roads start with better understanding.
