Our vision is for Iowa to be a place where motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists share the safest roads in the nation. The purpose of this page is to provide news and general information about Iowa GTSB and traffic safety efforts to the public. Each state is required to have a highway safety program directed by guidelines of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). GTSB is a bure
au housed within the Iowa Department of Public Safety and fulfills this requirement. REMINDER: This page is NOT an emergency response page. If you have an emergency, please call 911. Although GTSB is embedded within the Iowa Department of Public Safety, it takes many agencies and organizations working together to reduce the number of fatalities and serious injuries caused by crashes on Iowa roads. Only through ongoing collaborative partnerships can a difference be made. GTSB works with various partners such as law enforcement agencies, educators, engineers, emergency services, media, and more to lower the rate of death and injury on Iowa roads. The Iowa GTSB page is not the appropriate venue to make complaints about individuals, businesses or organizations, Iowa GTSB, or otherwise. This site does not accept request for public information under Iowa Open Records Statutes. Instead, please use our resources and guidelines at the bottom of the page. This is an open forum, and Iowa GTSB welcomes your participation. Keep in mind this is a family-friendly page, so please keep comments and wall posts clean.
