Developing programs and campaigns to save lives on our roadways is an enormous undertaking. Thankfully, we are not alone. HSO teams with a number of like-minded organizations throughout Connecticut and the nation. We’re all in this together!
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) partners with states like Connecticut, sharing data and providing grants so we can conduct effective highway safety programs.
The Governor’s Highway Safety Association (GHSA) is a national organization representing various state highway safety offices. We work with GHSA in the implementation of federal grant programs to address behavioral highway safety issues in Connecticut.
American Automobile Association (AAA) is one of the oldest, largest and most well-known organizations dedicated to drivers and transportation world-wide.
The Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) Research Program represents the world’s leading automakers and NHTSA in developing innovations that save lives on our roads. Recently, we teamed with DADSS to introduce Connecticut to a vehicle that can passively detect if a driver is under the influence of alcohol.
Made up of police chiefs from towns and cities throughout Connecticut, the CPCA assists HSO in key highway safety programs including Breaking Barriers – an educational program that seeks to prepare new drivers for interactions with police officers on the road
The mission of the Injury Prevention Center (IPC) at Connecticut Children’s is to reduce unintentional injury and violence among Connecticut residents and to translate research into injury prevention programs and policy. The CTDOT and IPC work together on several programs including Watch for Me (pedestrian and bicyclist safety) and Where’s Baby (hot car deaths).
A joint effort between the CT DOT and Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Injury Prevention Center, Watch for Me CT is a campaign to protect pedestrians and bicyclists on our roads through education and public awareness.
A joint effort between the CT DOT and Connecticut Children’s Medical Center Injury Prevention Center, Where’s Baby is a campaign to prevent hot car deaths that result from leaving children unattended in vehicles.
A joint effort between the CT DOT and several Connecticut health care systems, Not One More seeks to eliminate impaired driving crashes and fatalities using health care professionals and first responders as influencers.
The Connecticut Cannabis Chamber of Commerce represents diverse stakeholders across the entire cannabis industry. We work with the Chamber in developing effective programs to reduce cannabis impaired driving.
