DRIVING SAFETY TIPS
Did someone say road trip?! A road trip with your sisters is a fun and memorable experience. Prior to CLC, collaborate with your chapter’s volunteer team and consider the best form of transportation for your chapter. Tri Delta strongly encourages chapters located more than 300 miles from the Irving Convention Center to fly to CLC. Driving to CLC? The following tips and expectations can make your CLC driving adventure a fun and safe experience!
Road Trip | Tips & Tricks
- Keep an eye out on the weather in the week leading up to CLC.
- Connect with your volunteers if severe weather is in the forecast for your area or travel route.
- Determine a departure time and plan to arrive at the conference no later than 3:30 p.m. CT on Friday, March 28.
- Take turns behind the wheel. Rotating drivers can keep everyone rested with the added bonus of having a variety of DJs.
- Create a CLC 2024 playlist.
- Commit to not using a cell phone while driving. The passenger should serve as both the navigator and DJ.
- Be mindful of the driver. The person in the passenger seat should stay awake to keep the driver company.
- Get plenty of sleep before you drive.
- Bring a map or printed directions, in addition to the GPS on your phone.
- Stay hydrated and don’t forget some road trip snacks.
- Pack a spare phone charger for the car.
- Keep everyone entertained by playing some road trip games.
- Take your time. Allow some time to take a break, stretch your legs and use the restroom along the way.
- Refuel when needed. Start looking for a place to fill up as soon as you hit a quarter of a tank.
- Contact your chapter’s volunteer team and the Tri Delta events team if you experience any challenges that may delay your arrival time.
