Madrina-Padrino teaches traffic safety to Hispanics - El Paso

The University of Texas Health Sciences Center partnered with Thomason Hospital in El Paso to implement the new Madrina-Padrino traffic safety program for Hispanics.

“A lot of people miss the traffic rules, especially in the rural areas. This may be because they don’t understand the law,” said Anna Red, injury-prevention technician at Thomason Hospital.

The project is aimed at educating Hispanics, particularly new immigrants, about traffic safety norms and laws, including matters related to drinking and impaired driving, safety belt use and child passenger safety, she said.”*
