Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) is a nonprofit organization that represents state and territorial highway safety offices responsible for implementing programs addressing behavioral highway safety issues, including occupant protection, impaired driving, and speeding. The association provides leadership and advocacy to help states and territories improve traffic safety, influence national policy, enhance program management, and promote best practices. Based in Washington, DC, GHSA operates as a small to mid-sized network that coordinates efforts across jurisdictions to reduce traffic-related harm. Its focus is on the public policy sphere, serving government agencies and safety partners to support coordinated approaches to highway safety. GHSA collaborates with policymakers, law enforcement, educators, and transportation leaders to translate research and field experience into practical guidance. In 2025, GHSA announced a partnership with BusPatrol to develop a comprehensive national blueprint for school bus safety, aiming to strengthen safety nationwide.
