It sounds simple, but #technology and the use of #ai is providing new opportunity to advance safety. We can’t let complacency and burdensome regulation stop us from saving lives!

Always fun to chat about tech as a #Safetystrategy with my good friends at @GHSAHQ. @BusPatrol_ continues to combine education and enforcement, resulting in 90% + of offenders never getting a second violation. That’s real behavior change.
Tech embracer @_RickBirt with @BusPatrol_ meets reality checker @DavidZipper at “The Intersection.” Despite their differences, there's one key emerging tech that they and GHSA CEO @jraindc agree on. Listen to the full episode to find out what it is! ▶️ https://t.co/RXLfaH6Zwh

“Hope is an action word.” Great insights at #PrevCon2025, as @BusPatrol_ works with safety partners across the country to move from a “feeling” of safety to action!

Law enforcement is an irreplaceable part of the all-in strategy we need to get to zero deaths on U.S. roads. Thanks to @USDOT, @NHTSAgov and safety partners for highlighting the importance of buckling up at the launch of this year's Click It or Ticket campaign. @_RickBirt

It’s great when your partners get recognized for the great work they’re doing!
Today, MPD Chief Pamela A. Smith awarded Lt. Burns & Lt. Conrad the Medal of Achievement & Medal of Merit for their role in a traffic stop that led to a major arrest. Their dedication helps keep DC safe. Congrats to both for their outstanding work! 👏🚔 #PublicSafety

In baseball, it’s always been about getting home safe. If you’re going to the @Nationals' home opener today and alcohol is involved, please arrange for a safe ride home. ⚾️ #OpeningDay #NATITUDE
