The annual meeting of the Governors Highway Safety Association tackles traffic issues — including safety among diverse communities.

The U.S. highway network totals more than 4 million miles in length, so where does GHSA begin when it comes to tackling highway safety? It starts by engaging participants at its annual meeting from a wide range of fields, including traffic safety, law enforcement, public health, youth engagement, research, technology, and insurance. Some of the association’s primary issues of national concern may seem obvious — alcohol-impaired driving, distracted driving, speed and red-light monitoring, and teen driver safety — but other issues tackled at this year’s event may come as a surprise.
