JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KFVS) - The Missouri Coalition of Roadway Safety is working to prevent deadly traffic crashes with Buckle Up Phone Down Day on October 29.

The annual campaign aims to have no traffic deaths on Missouri roads on that day.

It is illegal to hold or support a cell phone or electronic communication device while driving on Missouri roads.

The Coalition is also challenging individuals to sign a pledge to buckle up and put their phones down during each trip.

This is the 9th year for the challenge.
