According to a CBS Philadelphia report, the survey is intended to help Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's administration improve traffic safety and guide grant funding decisions, aligning with about $30 million in annual federal grants for crash prevention statewide. Survey topics include seat belt use, impaired driving, speeding, distracted driving, and safety for bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorcyclists.
A 2023 survey showed that family influenced many respondents to drive more safely. That sentiment led to a campaign featuring Pennsylvania State Police Troopers delivering the message “Do it for the ones you love” to buckle up.
According to a PennLive report, PennDOT notes 1,127 highway deaths occurred in Pennsylvania in 2024, the second-lowest annual total since 1928. Preliminary data suggests that fewer crash fatalities took place in 2025.
