Join IBTTA’s Be Safe Together campaign to reduce distracted driving, save lives, and advance safer roads for all.
IBTTA launched the 3rd Annual Global Road Safety Week with a webinar focused on distracted driving and the shared responsibility of improving roadway safety. Watch the recording to hear perspectives from leaders across policy, operations, technology, research and education.
Programming highlights the real-world impact of distracted driving through powerful statistics, videos, stories and public awareness messaging. Explore how distraction affects drivers, families, roadway workers and communities around the world — and why attention behind the wheel matters more than ever.
Programming shines a global spotlight on roadway workers, incident responders and the risks they face every day from distracted and inattentive driving. In partnership with @ASECAP’s #SheWorksICare initiative, the day highlights the importance of slowing down, staying alert and protecting the people working on and alongside our roads.
Programming highlights Tolling on the Front Lines of Safety — a collection of real-world case studies showcasing how tolling agencies and industry partners are actively deploying solutions, strengthening operations and advancing proven strategies that are helping save lives on roadways today. From technology and incident response to work zone protection, communications and enforcement coordination, the day focuses on how the transportation industry is turning safety commitments into action.
Global Road Safety Week concludes with a worldwide call to action encouraging drivers, employees, partners and communities to take the Be Safe Together pledge and commit to safer choices behind the wheel. Because your attention is your most important safety feature.

Safety Insights
Through a $25,000 donation from IBTTA, EndDD.org and the Casey Feldman Foundation will expand educational resources, research and measurement tools to support distracted-driving prevention during the 2026–27 school year. Beginning in the second half of 2026, these enhanced resources will be customized for IBTTA members, enabling them to engage middle and high school students in their local communities with proven education programs designed to build safer driving habits before young people get behind the wheel.
Stay tuned for updates as the partnership and new educational resources roll out ahead of the 2026–27 academic year.
