July 31, 2025 Virtual

Learn about the latest pedestrian fatality data, hear how two states are working to make it safer for people walking, and ask questions during this GHSA webinar.

New data from the Governors Highway Safety Association indicates that fewer pedestrians were killed on U.S. roads in 2024, the second annual decline. Despite that recent progress, fatalities remain far above the pre-pandemic level. We still have a long way to go to reach the goal of zero roadway deaths.

In this webinar, sponsored by Qualcomm, GHSA Communications Director Adam Snider will share an overview of the data and what it says about U.S. pedestrian safety trends. Officials from two State Highway Safety Offices will share unique approaches states are taking to address pedestrian safety.
