Each year, the Lifesavers Conference on Roadway Safety brings together leaders who are working to address one of the most persistent challenges facing communities today: preventable crashes on our roadways.
Held April 19 to 21, 2026 in Baltimore, MD, the conference convened 2,000 professionals from across the country, including law enforcement, State Highway Safety Offices, prosecutors, public health leaders, and transportation experts. Organized by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), Lifesavers is widely recognized as the largest gathering of roadway safety professionals in the United States.
That scale reflects the urgency of the work. According to the NHTSA, more than 40,000 people were killed in traffic crashes in 2023. Lifesavers brings together the research, policy, and real-world experience needed to help prevent these tragedies and make roads safer for every community, including the moments when students are getting on and off the school bus and rely on drivers to make the right decision.
Meet the Panel:
In this discussion, experts from across healthcare, advocacy, technology, and public safety came together to explore how innovation can support safer outcomes on our roads. The panel featured:

- Owen McShane, Vice President of Government Relations, FaceTec
- Stephanie Manning, Chief Government Affairs Officer, Mothers Against Drunk Driving
Moving the Mission Forward
Lifesavers continues to play a critical role in connecting the people and ideas shaping the future of roadway safety. Through more than 80 workshops, plenary sessions, and cross-sector discussions, the conference creates space for leaders to align on what works and how to bring those solutions into communities.
“We take a lot of victory laps in law enforcement around reducing index and violent crime in this country. But at the end of the day, guns kill 48,000 people a year, and cars kill 46,000. We don’t see the same level of focus or government initiative around roadway safety as we do with violent crime. The key difference is that, with roadway safety, we actually have technology that can prevent crashes and incidents. And when it’s deployed ethically and correctly, it can change driver behavior.” — Justin Meyers, President and Chief Innovation Officer, BusPatrol
