Lighting is one of the biggest factors in pedestrian safety and it can’t get enough attention. More than three-quarters of pedestrian deaths occur at night. The share of nighttime deaths has risen further in recent years, GHSA’s data analysis found. Nighttime fatal pedestrian crashes nearly doubled from between 2010 and 2022, with 5,798 deaths in 2022. I love this line from Insurance Institute for Highway Safety / Highway Loss Data Institute President David Harkey: “Solutions aren’t always complicated.” If the vast majority of pedestrian deaths occur at night, let’s install more and better lighting so drivers can better see pedestrians. It doesn’t have to be complicated – it just have to be effective at preventing crashes and saving lives.

I recently had the opportunity to attend the inaugural U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Future of Transportation Summit. The event, which was organized by the U.S. DOT University Transportation Centers, included presentations on emerging research topics, updates from U.S. DOT’s modal agencies, and insights from stakeholder groups. It’s exciting to think about what our transportation system has the potential to look like in the future, particularly when it comes to the deployment of innovative technologies and safety practices that can significantly reduce the number of crashes and fatalities on our roadways. Much of the discussion focused on research about what could happen if we fully embrace innovative approaches that are currently only being tested or piloted. No matter how promising an idea is, policy decisions can often be the determining factor between whether an idea takes off or is stifled. It was great to see the U.S. DOT hosting this discussion to help propel innovative ideas and design policy that supports it. Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA)

Thanks to a grant from GHSA and MICHELIN Mobility Intelligence, the Minnesota Office of Traffic Safety is using new data to help identify hot spots where distracted driving occurs most often. Distracted driving kills an average of 29 people and injures another 149 in the state each year. To drive those numbers down and protect everyone on the road, officials are using anonymous, fully aggregated data from Michelin to supplement traditional data sources and inform safety countermeasures. These layers of data provide valuable new insights in the fight against distracted driving while protecting drivers’ privacy.

During the next few months, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) will announce some new and renewed partnerships, as well as some exciting initiatives we’ll collaborate on in the coming year. These partnerships are critically important in two equally notable ways. As a small nonprofit that depends on funding from outside organizations, partners are essential to our long-term viability and success. Partnerships also spark creativity, innovation and new approaches for State Highway Safety Offices and everyone they work with as we focus together on eliminating traffic deaths. Stay tuned!
