As more states look to leverage the use of technology to rein in super-speeders and protect everyone on the road, a comprehensive new guidebook helps State Highway Safety Offices advance the lifesaving potential of Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA).

Speeding remains one of the most persistent and deadly threats on U.S. roadways, accounting for more than 11,000 deaths in 2024 alone, and 125,000 fatalities over the last decade. This new guidebook, produced by GHSA with support from The National Road Safety Foundation and SteerSafe Partnership, details steps and actions for SHSOs to support this proactive, technology-driven intervention that can reduce crash risk and injury severity.

While active ISA could benefit all drivers, the guidebook also highlights three groups who would benefit the most:

🔁 Repeat speeding offenders
🚚 Fleet drivers
👦 Newly licensed teens
