Houston Area McDonald's Restaurants Reward Undistracted Driving

HOUSTON, TX -- Safe driving app, SAFE 2 SAVE, announced a new partnership with the McDonald’s owner/operators of Greater Houston to encourage road and community safety. Beginning June 24, SAFE 2 SAVE app users will be able to cash in their points for free food* at more than 300 McDonald’s locations across the Greater Houston area. Currently, Houston is the number one most distracted driving city in the nation according to a study done by Zendrive.

SAFE 2 SAVE is a free mobile app that works to end distracted driving. Users are awarded points for putting away their phone while driving. Those points can then be redeemed at local businesses for free items and discounts.

“I am delighted a brand as large and influential as McDonald’s is coming on board in the Greater Houston market,” said Marci Corry, owner and CEO of SAFE 2 SAVE. “We are dealing with a giant distracted driving epidemic in the third largest city of America. It is a privilege to work with the local McDonald’s owner/operators who reach every neighborhood, every age, at every time of day, to help drive change in Houston.”

“As local business people, we’re excited to work with SAFE 2 SAVE to help make Houston roads safer for everyone,” said McDonald’s owner/operator, area native, and former Houston Texan Steve McKinney. “We hope the only time folks use their phones while behind the wheel is at a McDonald’s drive thru to redeem their points for a free Big Mac.”
