Welcome to Safe Connections and Resources

What is Safe Connections and Resources?

Safe Connections and Resources is an internet home created to support parents, professionals, grandparents, teachers, safety volunteers, advocates and community leaders as they work to improve traffic safety, save lives and reduce injuries.

It is a place to easily access the network of information about programs, issues and facts and resources available to each region of the U.S. where volunteers like the NAWHSL (National Association of Women Highway Safety Leaders) and many partners offer support and accessible links to needed information.
