As 2025 winds down and we look to 2026, we're optimistic about the growing momentum behind roadway safety but know more work must be done.
Whether you're driving, walking or rolling, here's to a safer 2026!

Preventing impaired driving is in the spotlight during the holidays. Let's shine the light on this critical safety issue year-round.
Join us at the #GHSA2026 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, 8/29-9/2, to explore how technology, data and innovation can help end impaired driving in our lifetimes.
There was a lot of new momentum for roadway safety in 2025. That's great to see, but we won't rest until we reach zero traffic deaths. Check out our GHSA #wrapped for more highlights from the last year. Wishing you all a safe 2026 and beyond!
