NETS is an employer-led public/private partnership dedicated to improving the safety and health of employees, their families, and members of the communities in which they live and work by preventing traffic crashes that occur both on- and off-the-job. NETS was founded in 1989 by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) as an employer-led road safety organization.
In 2017, one of the association’s key accomplishments was the addition of its first utlity fleet—Consolidated Edison—to its board of directors.
In 2018, McKillips said one of the initiatives undertaken by NETS will be to explore the feasibility of offering a global fleet safety.
