It is with great honor and pride to be in the Governors Highway Safety Association (GHSA) Research Committee, who supports the BTSCRP program. The dedication and commitment of this group are truly inspiring, and I am fortunate to be a part of such a driven and impactful team.

I am profoundly honored to represent the State of Arizona and Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety.

This initiative aims to explore and address critical issues in public safety, and your input is invaluable.

This is a chance for you to share your ideas on subjects that you believe are important for enhancing public safety on our roads. To participate, please fill out the attached survey with your proposed topic and a brief explanation of its significance.
