A new report from the Governors Highway Safety Association and Cambridge Mobile Telematics urges public officials to support and advance predictive analytics to prevent traffic deaths before they happen, marking a fundamental shift in how road safety is approached.

With more than 200,000 deaths on U.S. roads since 2020, A Data-Driven Action Plan for Safer Roads presents one of the clearest cases yet for moving from reactive safety strategies to proactive ones powered by data and AI. As the report underscores, crashes can be both predicted and prevented with the right resources and data. This action plan emphasizes that these tools – which the insurance industry has proven accurate through decades of refinement – can now be leveraged to make roads safer for everyone.
