The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is an operationally independent body within the Federal Department of Transport and Regional Services and is Australia’s prime agency for transport safety investigations. The bureau is entirely separate from transport regulators and service providers. The ATSB’s objective is safe transport. Its mission is to maintain and improve transport safety and public confidence through excellence in: independent transport accident and incident investigation; safety data analysis and research; safety communication and education.

The Finnish Motor Insurers' Centre is the joint organization for the motor insurance companies in Finland. The centre manages the international contacts involving the Green card system, runs a development programme for traffic safety, and is in charge of the system of traffic accident research boards.

Road Safety Nigeria aims to encourage good driving habits and help reduce, and limit the impact of, road traffic accidents, by: providing information about key road safety issues and how improvements can be made; and publicising important governmental and community initiatives to help reduce traffic accidents and make roads safer.

VTI, the Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, is a national research institute organised under the Ministry of Industry, Employment and Communications. VTI performs advanced applied research and development of high quality aiming to contribute to the national transport policy objective for sustainable development. The home page of VTI's web site has links to news and interim results from research at the VTI, summaries of some of the reports published by the VTI, and information on new projects, joint projects, activities and events, personnel news, etc.

The Parliamentary Advisory Council for Transport Safety (PACTS) is a registered charity in the United Kingdom, and an associate Parliamentary Group.

The AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety is dedicated to saving lives and reducing injuries by preventing traffic crashes. It is a not-for-profit, publicly-supported charitable educational and research organization. The association's mission is to identify traffic safety problems, foster research that seeks solutions, and disseminate information and educational materials. The foundation posts Traffic Safety News items obtained from external sources on the home page of its web site.

Drive and Stay Alive Inc. provides an international news page. The main purpose of this web page is to let drivers, legislators, safety professionals, police officers, parents of young drivers, etc., have an easily accessible yet wide ranging insight into road safety best practice globally, and through this be in a better position to help save some of the many lives wasted in road crashes everywhere.

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)is a nonprofit research and communications organization funded by auto insurers. For over 30 years IIHS has been a leader in finding out what works and doesn't work to prevent motor vehicle crashes in the first place, and reduce injuries in the crashes that still occur. The Institute's research focuses on countermeasures aimed at all three factors in motor vehicle crashes (human, vehicular, and environmental) and on interventions that can occur before, during, and after crashes to reduce losses. The website contains fact sheets on a variety of road safety topics. The Institute's newsletter, Status Report, is published ten times per year and contains a variety of news items regarding highway safety. Past issues of the newsletter are searchable using an on-line search engine.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) forms part of the U.S. Department of Transportation and is responsible for reducing deaths, injuries and economic losses resulting from motor vehicle crashes. This is accomplished by setting and enforcing safety performance standards for motor vehicle equipment, and through grants to state and local governments to enable them to conduct effective local highway safety programs. NHTSA investigates safety defects in motor vehicles, sets and enforces fuel economy standards, helps states and local communities reduce the threat of drunk drivers, promotes the use of safety belts, child safety seats and air bags, investigates odometer fraud, establishes and enforces vehicle anti-theft regulations; provides consumer information on motor vehicle safety topics; and conducts research on driver behavior and traffic safety to develop the most efficient and effective means of bringing about safety improvements.

The Transport and Communications Newsletter is published electronically by Bernie Wagenblast and distributed free of charge on Mondays through Fridays. The newsletter contains media clips, notices of published reports and conference listings, from around the world. Items of specific interest to the road safety community include: safety programs, automated enforcement initiatives, cell phones and driving, effective signing, and ITS applications. For a free subscription send an e-mail message to: transport-communications-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

The mission of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) is to promote innovation and progress in transportation through research. In an objective and interdisciplinary setting, TRB facilitates the sharing of information on transportation practice and policy by researchers and practitioners; stimulates research and offers research management services that promote technical excellence; provides expert advice on transportation policy and programs; and disseminates research results broadly and encourages their implementation. The website contains information on the work of the body, including committees, current research and publications. Information on the annual TRB conference held in Washington in January is also found at the website. A weekly electronic newsletter, the TRB E-Newsletter, is available free of charge. To begin receipt of the newsletter, send e-mail to rhouston@nas.edu with "TRB E-Newsletter" in the subject field.

In 2005, the United States Congress created the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) to address the challenges of moving people and goods efficiently and safely on the nation’s highways. SHRP 2 is a targeted, short-term program administered by the Transportation Research Board of The National Academies, under a Memorandum of Understanding with the Federal Highway Administration (U.S. Department of Transportation) and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials. Highway safety is one of four research focus areas identified as essential to fulfilling the program’s mission. The goal of safety is to prevent or reduce the severity of highway crashes by understanding driver behavior. Both vehicle-based (a large scale naturalistic driving study) and infrastructure-based technologies will be used to gather pre-crash, crash, and exposure data. The data can then be analyzed and applied to safety countermeasures. The other focus areas are renewal (address the aging infrastructure through rapid design and construction methods that cause minimal disruption and produce long-lived facilities), reliability (reduce congestion through incident reduction, management, response, and mitigation), and capacity (integrate mobility, economic, environmental, and community needs in the planning and designing of new transportation capacity).
