U.S. traffic fatalities fell 3.2% in the first half of 2024, marking nine consecutive quarters of declines, according to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA data released today. That progress is welcome, but we still have a long way to go to reach the goal of zero traffic deaths. Starting this weekend, national roadway safety, business, government, law enforcement, tech, public health and nonprofit leaders will come together for the GHSA 2024 Annual Meeting in Indianapolis to work together to build on this recent safety momentum and better protect everyone on the road.

Did you know? Speeding was a contributing factor in almost 29 percent of all fatalities in 2021, an increase of 7.9 percent from 2020, and the correlation between speed and injury crashes is well documented. This is why achieving lower speeds is a key part of the FHWA’s Safe System Approach. (Source: “Safe System Approach for Speed Management,” FHWA) Experts from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA, World Bank, Virginia Tech, Federal Highway Administration, and Iowa State University will be at the 2nd IRSC to show how organizations in the US and internationally are tackling the problem of speed to increase safety for all road users.
