Mission of Shreya R Dixit Memorial Foundation is to champion safe and distraction-free driving practices.

The Foundation also awards financial grants for college bound seniors and supports literacy initiatives for children in developing countries.

We seek to transform driver behavior by demonstrating how easy it is to get distracted on the road, and even easier to avoid catastrophes that occur too often.

  1. Three seconds, that is all it takes.
    80% of all crashes and 65% of all near-crashes recently studied by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute involved driver inattention within 3 seconds of the crash.

  2. Multitasking in the car: Just like drunken driving
