The conference, now in its third year, will offer sessions for light- to heavy-duty vehicle fleets. Content around heavy-duty fleet topics continues from the 2013 conference. Sessions will cover timely topics for commercial and public-sector fleets.

Attendees of the 2013 Fleet Safety Conference included a diverse group of safety professionals, who shared their best fleet safety practices and heard from experts about new technologies and case studies.
"The wealth of information and interactions by speakers, panelists, sponsors and attendees assures everyone finds the niche of information they are looking for — and then some," said Rick Ravelo, fleet administrator with Fidelity National Financial. "I first attended by myself, and this year I was able to include someone from our risk department. My goal for 2014 is to add someone from HR.

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.
