their phones; the app allows users who avoid distracted driving to |

earn points and redeem them for discounts at local businesses, and |

|
|
driving competitions with one another; and |

|
|
more than 89,000 people, and plans are underway to expand across the |
|
|
entire state and go nationwide in 2019; along with the app, |
|
|
Ms. Corry oversees SAFE 2 SAVE's outreach initiatives that involve |
|
|
speaking about safe driving at schools, businesses, and |
|
|
organizations; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, By addressing the serious problem of distracted |
|
|
driving, Marci Corry has demonstrated an inspiring commitment to |
|
|
making our roadways safer; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 86th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby honor Marci Corry for her important work as |
|
|
founder and CEO of SAFE 2 SAVE and extend to her sincere best wishes |
|
|
for continued success with this endeavor; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
|
|
prepared for Ms. Corry as an expression of high regard by the Texas |
|
|
House of Representatives. |
