Safety Groups Create Automated Enforcement (AE) Checklist

Red light and speed cameras are powerful enforcement tools that have been shown to reduce crashes, but programs must be carefully implemented to maintain community support. A new checklist released on May 6, 2021 by AAA, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA), the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) and the National Safety Council (NSC) can serve as a roadmap for communities that are establishing or expanding automated enforcement programs.

Statement on National Heatstroke Prevention Day, May 1

Inexpensive technology to detect the presence of an unattended child in a vehicle and alert to their presence exists today. The Hot Cars Act, which directs the U.S. Department of Transportation to issue a rule to make this technology standard equipment in new cars, will soon be reintroduced and Congress should take immediate action to advance it.

Currently, these technologies are predominantly available on luxury models or as part of expensive upgrade packages. The bill addresses this inequity by requiring them across the board.
