Governor's Highway Safety Council

The Governor's Highway Safety Council coordinates Hawaii's traffic safety programs and administers federal highway safety grant funds from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. It develops and oversees the state's Strategic Highway Safety Plan, targeting reductions in traffic fatalities and serious injuries through enforcement, education, and engineering initiatives. The council brings together law enforcement, transportation, health, and community stakeholders.

Hawaii consistently has significant rates of traffic fatalities involving pedestrians, cyclists, and impaired drivers, and this council directs the funding and programs aimed at reducing those deaths. Community members can engage through public meetings and by supporting funded safety programs.
