The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s (NHTSA’s) mission is simple: prevent the crashes that kill and injure thousands of individuals in the United States every year. Just as law enforcement officers are driven to prevent the tragedies they’ve seen on the job, we’re driven by the 32,719 lives lost on U.S. roads in 2013.1
That’s only one connection NHTSA shares with law enforcement; there are many others. We are close partners on high-visibility enforcement campaigns that have become household terms, such as Click It or Ticket, Drive Sober or Get Pulled Over, and U Drive. U Text. U Pay. These targeted enforcement efforts have a real impact on driver behavior; therefore, we know they save lives.
