The University of North Carolina Highway Safety Research Center is working hard to help shape the field of transportation safety. We are committed to excellence in sound research, and safety is the preeminent goal – every day and in every project our staff undertakes.

Our mission: to improve the safety, sustainability, and efficiency of all surface transportation modes through a balanced, interdisciplinary program of research, evaluation, and information dissemination.

Transportation safety has come a long way since the North Carolina General Assembly established HSRC in 1965. In terms of miles driven, the rate of motor vehicle related deaths in the U.S. is 80 percent lower than it was 55 years ago. This is good news of course, but more than 30,000 people lose their lives annually in the U.S. as a result of motor vehicle crashes. There is still much work to be done and progress to be made.

HSRC is proud to be a leader in this important charge.
