The GHSA 2024 Annual Meeting is less than three months away! Equitable traffic enforcement is essential to reaching our goal of zero roadway deaths. This year’s agenda reaffirms our commitment to providing learning and networking opportunities for law enforcement officials as we work together to improve safety for everyone on the road.

Dangerous driving behaviors – like speeding, impaired driving and not buckling up – continue to kill people on U.S. roads every day.

Traffic fatalities are beginning to slowly decline after a surge during the pandemic, but we have a long way to go to get to zero deaths.
