Membership
GHSA has two tiers of membership: its core State Highway Safety Offices (SHSO) Members and Associate Members.
State Highway Safety Office (SHSO) Members
GHSA's primary members are State Highway Safety Offices (SHSO) that develop and implement state-level highway safety programs. SHSOs pay annual dues to GHSA based on a flat fee as well as a proportional formula that considers state population.
State and territorial governors appoint SHSO directors, who are often referred to as Governors' Representatives – or GRs. These GRs and their designated Highway Safety Coordinators make up the core GHSA membership.

Payment must accompany

not accepted may reapply after one year. The GHSA membership
year runs July 1 through June 30.
Joining GHSA as an Associate Member requires
that the applicant agree to support the goals and objectives
of GHSA. The Associate Member shall have no right or privilege to vote
on Association policies or other organizational matters.
All dues paid by GHSA Associate Members are
used to support the general purposes of GHSA including the cost
of publications, mailing, development and implementation of training
for Association members and research of specific state highway
safety issues.
