Join a Traffic Safety Network

What is a Traffic Safety Network?

The Traffic Safety Network (TSN) brings together individuals who share a common goal: making Michigan’s safer for everyone. Co-sponsored by the OHSP and AAA, TSNs provide a platform for collaboration, idea-sharing, and education among traffic safety advocates across the state.

TSNs are open to anyone with an interest in roadway safety. Each network is shaped by its region’s geography, community needs, and the professional backgrounds of its members. While every TSN has its own unique identity, all include a core group of dedicated professionals from both public and private sectors who work together to advance traffic safety solutions.

By connecting and supporting one another, TSNs strengthen relationships, share best practices, and promote innovative strategies to reduce crashes and save lives.

Why do TSN members attend meetings?

  • To network with other traffic safety partners and put a face with a name or voice.
  • To learn about safety initiatives in the region.
  • To share information with other traffic safety professionals in your regional network.
  • To attend educational presentations on timely and emerging traffic safety topics.
  • To become aware of local traffic safety problems, get assistance analyzing data, and brainstorm with others to find solutions.
  • To learn about traffic safety resources such as grant funding opportunities, promotional materials, and special programming.
  • To spend quality time with others who relate to the time, energy, and challenges of working to ensure the safety of motorists.
