What is "Smile Highway Declaration"?
It is a customer participation type traffic safety awareness campaign implemented since 2013.
The purpose of this is to raise the awareness of safe driving by having customers declare safe driving at events.
Since 2016 I have been an ambassador for Comedy / Oklahoma (belonging to the Creative Office Queue) and I am further expanding the circle of traffic safety through the website and radio.
