Impaired driving remains one of the biggest challenges in roadway safety. But new technology, stronger prevention strategies and cross-sector collaboration are giving us powerful reasons for optimism.

At the GHSA 2026 Annual Meeting in Minneapolis, our general session, “Impaired Driving: Where We Are and Where We’re Headed,” will explore the current state of impaired driving and the prevention technologies and strategies shaping what comes next.

Attendees will hear from national leaders on federal efforts to combat impaired driving, including alcohol education, offender screening and assessments, impairment research, and emerging in-vehicle systems, including passive detection tools designed to prevent a vehicle from starting when a driver is impaired.

Thank you to our featured speakers David Harkey, Leslie Kimball, Stacey D. Stewart and Jane Terry and to moderator Lisa Freeman for leading this important discussion.

Join us August 29–September 2 for GHSA 2026 From Data to Action: Harnessing the Technology Revolution. See registration link in the comments.

During National Stop on Red Week, August 2–8, we’re joining National Coalition for Safer Roads and communities across the country in reminding drivers that every red light is a choice, and every safe stop helps protect lives.

Red-light running is one of the most preventable risks on our roads, yet in 2024, crashes involving red-light running killed more than 1,100 people and injured more than 141,000. Nearly half of those killed were pedestrians, cyclists, and people in other vehicles, not the drivers who ran the light.

That is why this week matters. Safer intersections require education, engineering, enforcement, and a shared commitment from every driver to slow down, stay alert, and stop on red. Red-light safety cameras and other proven safety strategies can help change behavior, reduce dangerous crashes, and make streets safer for everyone who uses them.

This National Stop on Red Week, let’s choose patience over risk and safety over speed.
Stop today. Protect tomorrow.

You can save lives by giving people a safer way home before impairment becomes a tragedy. Ride-hailing credits offer State Highway Safety Offices a practical, flexible tool to help prevent impaired driving by connecting people who plan to consume alcohol, cannabis or other impairing substances with reliable transportation alternatives.
