SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

    The Summit will build on the momentum from last year's summit 
bringing together senior transportation officials, elected officials, 
safety advocates, law enforcement representatives, private sector 
representatives and academics to address a range of issues related to 
reducing accidents through enforcement, public awareness and education. 
Authoritative speakers from around the nation will lead interactive 
panel discussions on a number of key topics including the extent and 
impact of distracted driving, current research, regulations and best 
practices.
    The U.S. Department of Transportation is committed to providing 
equal access to this Summit. Based on limited seating and to 
accommodate the strong interest outside the Washington area, the Summit 
will be available live by Webcast and members of the public will be 
given the opportunity to submit questions or comments online for each 
individual panel discussion. The Department has also created a Web site 
to provide information and updates on the Summit as details become 
available: http://www.distraction.gov/2010summit/. If you need 
alternative formats or services because of a disability, please contact 
Thomas Bolle with your specific request by September 13, 2010.
    Exhibit Space for this year's Summit will be handled separately by

exhibit space should be directed to Nicole Graziosi by phone at 571-
