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 that collaborates with private, local, and state agencies, to integrate data-driven decision making, and advocate for public education and enforcement support to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries. Our mission is to create equitable access to safe transportation and to ensure every journey is safe.
Our Vision is to achieve zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries on Vermont's roadways by fostering a culture of collision-free driving, promoting sustainable and safe transportation options, and enhancing community well-being through safety initiatives.
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.
