2024 Texas Road Safety Leaders Honored by National Safety Council

Our Driving Concern Awards Presented to 15 Texas Employers

The roads in Texas are a little bit safer because of the work of 15 employers recognized by the National Safety Council as safety champions through the annual Our Driving Concern Texas Employer Traffic Safety Awards program.

All 15 have demonstrated a commitment to road safety by enacting safe driving policies and investing in education and training. They are striving to keep their employees and residents in the communities where they live and work safe. In the last year, their efforts have helped move the safety needle in a positive direction.

Traffic fatalities in Texas decreased by 2.8% in 2023, according to the Texas Department of Transportation. Still, one person was injured in a crash every 2 minutes 6 seconds, and one reportable crash occurred every 56 seconds. Clearly, there is more work to be done. We’ll rely on these 15 safety-minded organizations to help lead the way.

“We’re proud to call these Texas employers safety leaders and partners on the Road to Zero,” National Safety Council Senior Program Manager Katie Mueller said. “That’s zero crashes, zero injuries and zero fatalities – our ultimate goal. They have implemented evidence-based policies and comprehensive workplace safety programs. They’re saving money and saving lives. They’re proof that road safety is good for business and good for people.”

The National Safety Council, in partnership with TxDOT, has presented the Our Driving Concern Texas Employer Traffic Safety Awards every year since 2014. The 2024 recipients are:
