Bipartisan
Leadership Saves Lives and Money
Public
policy promoting change and vehicle safety improvements is difficult
and does not happen without strong leadership at both the state
and federal levels.
Highway
safety is government at its best. It's nonpartisan, with allies
all along the political spectrum. And every success is defined
by extraordinary political leadership.
Since
1990, more than 100 elected officials, citizen activists and other
highway safety supporters have been honored with Advocates' "Safety
Leader Award."
The
award recognizes the outstanding contribution by individuals who
have shown leadership, innovation, dedication and commitment through
personal efforts and/or professional activities.
Advocates provides public officials opportunities to work with
the business community and state, local and national advocacy
groups. In doing so, legislators and policy makers are linked
with grassroots support to wage battle on issues at every level
of government. Advocates' involvement in a public policy issue
brings to the debate political expertise, accurate information
and dedication to the cause.
Each
victory has the same thing in common: when those in power commit
themselves to do the right thing, lives and money are saved.
