Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety was joined by a member of Congress, a state lawmaker, parents of children killed in motor vehicle crashes, law enforcement, and consumer and insurance leaders to release the 2026 Roadmap to Safety.
Preliminary numbers for 2024 remain historically high. Speeding, red light running, impaired driving, distractions and not buckling up are contributing to these devastating figures.
Five states (MD, NY, OR, RI, WA) and DC receive the highest rating of “green,” while nine states earn a “red” rating for lagging dangerously behind in the adoption of Advocates’ recommended laws (ID, MI, MO, MT, NE, NV, OK, SD, WY). The remaining 36 states receive a “yellow” or caution rating, indicating that improvement is needed.
