CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) today announced awards honoring 18 individuals and groups from across the nation for accomplishments in promoting highway safety.

The awards were presented at the 23rd Annual Lifesavers conference by NHTSA Administrator Jeffrey W. Runge, M.D. , who delivered today’s luncheon speech.

"The work of saving lives on our highways cannot be done only from Washington. It is accomplished because of scientists, educators, engineers, enforcers, health care practitioners, and thoughtful citizens who care enough about the daily tragedies on our roadways to do something about it," Dr. Runge said.

More than 1,800 participants are attending this year’s three-day Lifesavers conference, which features 85 workshops and 115 exhibitors. The meeting focuses on common-sense solutions to critical highway safety issues and is considered the leading event of its kind in the United States. Topics being covered include child passenger safety, occupant protection, and new vehicle safety technology.
