13 Who Is in need? The Community. Drivers/ Drunk Drivers. Family/Children. Underage Drinkers. Police Force.

14 What are the needs. Higher Consequences (Fines/Tickets/Jail Time) Have a SOBER Driver. More Checkpoints. More Outreach Programs.

15 More outreach programs to educate adults and children about the dangers of drunk driving. More checkpoints will bring awareness into drunk drivers which will reduce drinking and driving.

20 Not drunk driving Having a breathalyzer in cars Having more checkpoints Raising fines

21 Never Drink and Drive Our criteria shows that not drunk driving would definitely save money, help the community and help out the safety on the road and in the community.

22 Breathalyzers in cars in order to turn on the car will lower drunk drivers on the road. Will not allow incapable drivers to drive. Will make drunk drivers think ahead and have a sober driver.

23 Having more checkpoints will send fear into drunk drivers eyes. More checkpoints will reduce the chances of drunk drivers crashing. Will increase the safety of driving home safe.

24 Government funding toward programs that have positive effects on the community Supporting A.A. groups and other nonprofits. Funding organizations that promote sobriety.

25 1. Easy to create 2. Meets needs of both youth & parents 3. Effective results 4. Saves money 5. Reduces drunk drivers

27 Javier Frias

28 Keep the streets safe from drunk drivers Stop drunk driving completely Make streets safe for all pedestrians and families.

29 Drunk drivers will continue to drive The streets will not be safe Drunk drivers will raise the number of accidents More casualties Children's lives would be left at risk if drunk drivers are not off the road

30 Paying police officers to set up checkpoints. People would have to buy breathalyzers. People are safe. Less deaths and accidents in our community.
