Just thinking out loud. Any thoughts?
Well.. with speed limits in Texas at 85mph, you'd have to question how that statistic would really sink into the imagination.

I'd think the best place to start is in your own community. Get involved in public meetings and talk to lots of people. When certain interests clamor for more freeways and more car infrastructure and higher speed limits, there needs to be a voice on the other side of the issue.
