What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

First Response

The purpose of our First Response Program is to get information and resources to people affected by truck crashes in their time of greatest need. The Truck Safety Coalition seeks to provide support and community from those who have experienced the trauma of a crash firsthand and help new victims and survivors navigate their recovery. In a typical year, 500 victims, survivors, and families are served by our compassionate support services.

Population(s) Served
Adults
Families
Widows and widowers

Our bi-annual conference is designed specifically for truck crash victims and survivors to gather in a supportive environment, receive best in class training regarding current truck safety issues, and learn how to use the power of their voice to draw attention to need for improved
policymaking. The four-day conference includes classroom workshops and in-person meetings to get to know their elected representatives, congressional committees and federal departments and agencies that all play a role in making our roadways safer.

Population(s) Served

For over 30 years, the Truck Safety Coalition and its partner organizations have been at the forefront of truck safety reform. Our volunteers learned the hard way how dangerous the lack of accountability and commonsense safety regulations devastate families. We promote safety-oriented solutions that ensure everyone on the roadway can return home safely, including truck drivers. The powerful witness of our victim volunteers helps remind everyone the stakes involved with these important issues.
