• Speed violations data management backend
• Dashboard for tracking the speed violations
• System of alerts throughout different stages of the process

Why Transportation Safety?

Every day, 120 people are killed on US roadways, and over 14,000 suffer life-altering injuries. Every crash destroys families, and tears at the fabric of our communities. Crashes are preventable. These are not “accidents” — and the problems that cause them have proven solutions. No death or life-altering injury in a traffic crash is acceptable.
