Driving Safety
There are more than 1,700 fatalities and 840,000 injuries yearly due to vehicle crashes off public highways.
- Safety is NHTSA’s number one priority. Our mission is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries on our nation’s roadways by getting drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to change their behaviors once they get behind the wheel or on the streets. High-visibility campaigns, supported by state and national advertising help us achieve our mission.
Think Safe, Ride Safe, Be Safe! is a new child transportation safety campaign from NHTSA and Ludorum, the producers of the Chuggington™ television series. The campaign provides you tools to help your child walk and ride more safely. Click HERE for more information. |
