    Operation Lifesaver of Vermont is a non-profit public safety education and awareness organization dedicated to…

The Vermont Highway Safety Alliance (VHSA) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to minimize the occurrence and severity of highway crashes, and related injuries and fatalities.

Motorists practicing highway safety in Vermont.

The VHSA is a coalition of highway safety proponents that include law enforcement, federal and state agencies, municipal organizations, healthcare providers, for-profit businesses, industry associations, judiciary, and driver educators. Together, we interact with Vermonters with the goal of changing behaviors. Risky habits such as driving while impaired, distracted, unbelted, speeding, and aggressively all contribute to crashes that may result in serious injuries and fatalities.

We work with many partners to improve highway safety by integrating engineering; enforcement; education, marketing and outreach; and emergency medical services (the four Es of highway safety) initiatives.

The emotional and financial toll impacts individuals, families, and businesses and is completely preventable.
