Safe Communities
NHTSA assists injury prevention and control coalitions in communities nationwide to help promote traffic safety initiatives at the local level.
There are more than 1,700 fatalities and 840,000 injuries yearly due to vehicle crashes off public highways.
- Safety is NHTSA’s number one priority. Our mission is to reduce the number of deaths and injuries on our nation’s roadways by getting drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to change their behaviors once they get behind the wheel or on the streets. High-visibility campaigns, supported by state and national advertising help us achieve our mission.

Driving Safety is Thinking Safely
- Car Seat Recommendations
We have updated our recommendations to reflect new child restraints on the market, many of which can accommodate children to higher weights. - Passenger Van Safety
Passenger vans handle very differently from smaller passenger vehicles because they are typically longer, higher, and wider. They have a higher risk of crashes and rollovers if not properly driven and maintained. - Keeping Our Kids Safe
You read up on car seats for kids and figured out which one worked best for you and your family. You even took your car and car seat to a seat-checking station.
Office of Emergency Medical Services
The mission of the NHTSA OEMS is to reduce death and disability by providing leadership and coordination to the EMS community in assessing, planning, developing, and promoting comprehensive, evidence-based emergency medical services and 9-1-1 systems
