The Network of Employers for Traffic Safety (NETS) is the only organization dedicated exclusively to traffic safety in the workplace. Government and industry leaders created the organization in 1989 to address both the human and economic impact of traffic crashes on the nation's workforce. The NETS mission is to reduce traffic-related deaths and injuries within the nation's workforce by developing safety policies, workplace informational and training programs, safety campaigns, and corporate community activities. NETS' programs, resources, and services are designed to reach all employees and their families, whether an employee drives for work or to and from work.

NETS is a public/private partnership that engages employers of all sizes and industry-types in seeking, developing, and expanding best practices in traffic safety. The "network" is the backbone of this successful endeavor and members represent a variety of professions all engaged in reducing traffic-related deaths and injuries within the nation's workforce. The disciplines include: fleet management, corporate safety and health, consumer education, loss control and risk management, human resources, employee assistance programs, marketing, and public relations.

Those employers with a national presence and a demonstrated commitment and dedication to traffic safety in the workplace are encouraged to consider a national membership and an opportunity to serve on the NETS Board of Directors. Basic membership opportunities are now available to all employers through the recently launched NETS Pass program.

NETS is nationally known for its annual Drive Safely Work Week campaign to focus the nation's employers and the media on key traffic safety issues. Since 1997, NETS has sponsored this lifesaving workplace traffic safety campaign. Each year participation in the Drive Safely Work Week increases as employers recognize the need to reduce traffic-related crashes and the associated human, financial, and liability costs. By participating in the campaign, employers are working to improve the safety and health of their employees and reducing traffic-related deaths and injuries in their workforce.
