| ABOUT GHSO: | |
|
The Governor's Highway
Safety Office (GHSO) is Tennessee's advocate for highway safety. This office works with law enforcement, judicial personnel and
community advocates to coordinate activities and initiatives relating
to the human behavioral aspects of highway safety.
The GHSO's mission is to develop, execute and evaluate programs to reduce the number of fatalities, injuries and related economic losses resulting from traffic crashes on Tennessee's roadways. The office works in tandem with the National Highway Safety Administration to implement programs focusing on occupant protection, impaired driving, speed enforcement, truck and school bus safety, pedestrian and bicycle safety and crash data collection and analysis. Programs administered by the Governor's Highway Safety Office are 100% federally funded. | |
