Crash Responder Safety: A National Priority for America’s Highways

A Shared Road, A Shared Responsibility
Crash Responder Safety is more than a federal campaign — it’s a real-world issue that affects every trucker rolling down America’s highways. Quick-clearance techniques, better communication, stronger enforcement, data-driven crash prevention, and consistent “Move Over” behavior all contribute to safer roads for responders and for drivers behind the wheel of Class 8 equipment.
As USDOT continues to expand training and roll out new safety initiatives, the trucking community remains a critical partner. Protecting the people who protect us — and preventing crashes before they happen — is a mission shared by every responder, every agency, and every driver in the industry.
