7. Ohio AAP's "Put a Lid On It" Campaign & Risks of Riding Right Video

Since 2011, the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics (Ohio AAP) has held the Put a Lid on It! campaign to promote bike helmet safety awareness around the state. To date the program has distributed and fitted nearly 20,000 bike helmets. In 2015 and 2016, Ohio AAP worked with ODOT to distribute helmets to safety organizations around the state. To illustrate what a near-crash looks like from the motorist’s and the bicyclist’s points of view, ODOT worked with non-profit Yay Bikes! in 2015 to create a training video in conjunction with the Put a Lid on It Awareness Week. It is likely the only video to show bicycle safety from both perspectives.
