2026 ROADMAP TO SAFETY
“You never think it will happen to you. Until it does.”
Autonomous Vehicle Tenets: A “GPS” to Guarantee Public Safety
Bipartisan Infrastructure Law:
Safety Progress — Swift & Comprehensive Implementation Needed
A study by @USDOT found that larger & longer freight trucks were more prone to crashes. Heavier trucks, incl. those w/ multiple trailers, were more difficult to maneuver & req. longer stopping distances. The heavier the truck, the greater the crash forces & lethality of crashes.
NCL and @Protectaxpayers are leading a 27-org coalition urging Congress: don't let heavier trucks on our roads.
Bigger trucks = more damage to roads and bridges, higher costs for taxpayers, and more dangerous highways.

National Work Zone Awareness Week is a reminder that work zones are places where people are doing their jobs just feet away from traffic. Drivers must slow down & stay. Speed safety cameras can help reduce dangerous speeding & protect workers. Read more: https://saferoads.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/12/2026-Advocates-Roadmap-Speed-And-Red-Light-Enforcement.pdf
@NHTSAgov issued an initial determination that certain frontal driver air bag inflators manufactured by DTN contain a safety defect. They not only fail to protect vehicle occupants during a crash but pose a direct risk of death or serious injury.
If a DTN inflator is found, the vehicle should not be driven until you are able to have it replaced with genuine original equipment parts.
Do not attempt to inspect the vehicle yourself – tampering with the steering wheel or air bag could result in a deployment causing death or serious injury.
Over 3,200 people were killed in distracted driving-related crashes in 2024. Behind every number is a loved one who should still be here. Advocates is working this Distracted Driving Awareness Month & every month to advance commonsense laws & promote proven safety technology.
The Sarah Debbink Langenkamp Active Transportation Safety Act (S. 944/ H.R. 2011) is needed to make our infrastructure safer from distracted driving for peds and bicyclists.
