TASL, short for This App Saves Lives, aims to save lives while offering users the opportunity to earn rewards. The mission is focused on reducing distracted driving by rewarding individuals who choose not to use their phones while driving.
The team behind the app is comprised of parents, students, teachers, technologists, marketing experts and problem solvers. They care about the safety and well-being of others around them; after their founder was nearly killed by a distracted driver, the problem became even more personal to them. Seeing such a problem of this growing magnitude encouraged them to do something about it. Once set up, the app will automatically load and calculate rewards points each time you drive. You can choose to drive with your screen locked or with the app open at the foreground to earn points for driving without using your phone for anything but navigation, music and hands-free calls. Points will then appear on the app dashboard along with your personal safe driving statistics. You can earn badges, create competitions between friends and family, and also view the rewards portal to search your favorite brands and their available rewards. Rewards can be redeemed online or in store at any time. The TASL app allows you to feel good about helping yourself and others while easily earning rewards!
While the app has not yet launched, the waitlist is already open, including early access to rewards. To learn more about the app and how you can sign up, visit here.
