Nine in ten parents also support automated stop-arm camera enforcement to prevent illegal school bus passings.

More than 800 roadway safety, technology, government, law enforcement and nonprofit leaders gathered to share, connect and inspire each other at the GHSA 2026 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, August 29 – September 2.

GHSA’s 2026 Annual Meeting spotlights the technology reshaping roadway safety, from AI to Intelligent Speed Assistance, in conversations that will move the needle.

In 2026, GHSA partnered with the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) to provide a $100,000 grant to the Maryland Highway Safety Office to pilot an innovative approach quantifying distracted driving on state roadways and then implement strategies to address this risky driving behavior.

Statement by GHSA CEO Jonathan Adkins in response to new Insurance Institute for Highway Safety research on autonomous vehicle safety compared to human drivers.

GHSA projects drivers struck and killed 6,732 people walking in the United States in 2025, down 7% from the year before – the third straight annual decrease. Despite this progress, pedestrian deaths remain 5% above the pre-pandemic level.

Drivers struck and killed 6,732 people walking in 2025, an average of 18 per day, according to a new data analysis from GHSA. That is a 7% decline from the year before but still 5% higher than the pre-pandemic 2019 level.

Kansas, Oregon and Pennsylvania will use funding to strengthen toxicology testing, expand roadside breath testing capacity and provide specialized training to identify and remove impaired drivers from the road.

The objectives of this research are to document the existing state of knowledge regarding the impact safety outcomes associated with motorcycle lane splitting and lane filtering, support the development of standardized, behaviorally grounded definitions, and develop an evidence-based toolkit for use by state highway safety offices, state driver licensing agencies, and state motorcycle safety programs to manage the behavioral and safety complexities of motorcycle lane splitting and filtering.

The objective of this research is to develop a guide that supports efforts by SHSOs to conduct a comprehensive stakeholder assessment, develop a core set of educational active ISA materials or leveraging materials available from other sources, ensure that SHSO staff have a strong foundational understanding of active ISA, establish clear metrics and evaluation processes allows SHSOs to measure the effectiveness of educational initiatives and outreach efforts, engage with key stakeholders to advance pilot programs and develop guidelines and implementation frameworks for pilot projects.
