The Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS), a longtime sponsor of the annual Drive Safely Work Week campaign, is expanding the group’s marketing efforts to include quarterly campaigns focused on changing specific driving behaviors.
A campaign aimed at raising employee awareness about the dangers and costs of speeding is set for May 8-14. The event will be held in collaboration with the United Nations Global Road Safety Week.

Each year, crashes arising from speeding cost employers an estimated $8.4 billion, according to NETS.
Employers can download campaign materials by clicking here. The materials include campaign launch sample letters and emails, fact sheets, PowerPoint presentations, pledge cards, posters, and social media and email graphics. Materials aren’t dated, so employers aren’t locked into the May 8-14 time frame if another week is more convenient.
During the designated week, employers can conduct speed training through workshops and webinars, post social media announcements, distribute fact sheets and display posters, NETS said.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
