2026 Convening on Right-Sizing Traffic Enforcement

Join the Traffic Safety for All Coalition and the Policing Project at NYU School of Law as we build a community of practice to reassess and right-size the role of enforcement in traffic safety. Throughout this convening, we’ll identify opportunities to build evidence on innovative traffic enforcement efforts and elevate replicable policy and legislative reforms.

The Convening on Right-Sizing Traffic Enforcement will provide municipal leaders, researchers, practitioners, and other stakeholders from both the road safety and criminal justice fields an opportunity to come together and engage deeply on promising practices. Topics of panels will include: decriminalizing non-safety stops, civilian traffic enforcement, balancing enforcement with preventative street safety measures, traffic-related technology, and more. 

Traffic crashes are a leading and preventable cause of death in the U.S., and the nation’s reliance on high-volume traffic enforcement as a prevention strategy overshadows other promising solutions. Join us as we discuss the challenges of, and solutions to, meaningfully redesigning the role of enforcement in traffic safety.
