NCAST held 4 Safety Summits around the state last month (thanks to @SenatorSawyer and @SenatorLazzara for moderating!). White paper coming soon to summarize, including potential 2027 legislation. Thanks to ALL who attended and shared ideas. And thanks to media for covering.

We had a wonderful Traffic Safety Summit yesterday in Wilmington, the third stop in our four-part series across North Carolina. Great conversations, valuable insights, and plenty of ideas were shared about how we can make North Carolina’s roads safer. Thanks to everyone who took part! “Collaboration is key,” NCAST Executive Director Joe Stewart said. “Speeding is a menace. Traffic cameras can make a big difference in enforcement and free up officers for other duties. E-bikes are becoming a big concern, with many calls to require registration.” And thank you to @wectnews and @WWAY for covering the summit.

Thank you to N.C. Senator Vickie Sawyer for hosting our second NCAST Traffic Safety Summit in Statesville, and to everyone who joined us to share their experiences, ideas, and perspectives on making North Carolina’s roads safer. “These summits give us a chance to hear directly from the people who work on traffic safety every day — researchers, local officials, law enforcement and advocates — about what they are seeing and what we can do better,” Sawyer said. “I’m coming away with ideas that deserve a closer look.” Bringing people together for conversations like these is an important step toward finding solutions that can make North Carolina’s roads safer for everyone!
