Posted March 2, 2018

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is hosting a public meeting on March 15, 2018, to promote dialogue on the growing problem of drug-impaired driving on U.S. roads.

Driving under the influence of drugs is on the rise and responsible for thousands of driving-related fatalities, according to the NHTSA. The Drug-Impaired Driving Call to Action meeting launches the agency’s initiative to develop action plans to combat drugged driving.

The public meeting will bring together key stakeholders to brainstorm. Participants will include safety partners; state and local officials; data and policy experts; law enforcement and criminal justice professionals; toxicologists; drug recognition experts; and others.
