About DRIVE SMART Virginia
DRIVE SMART Virginia (DSV) is the only 501c3 non-profit in Virginia dedicated entirely to making Virginia's roadways the safest in the nation. Founded by automobile insurance companies that represent more than 85% of the driving insured on our roads, DSV is a formidable presence in the homes and businesses of our Virginia citizens. Almost everyone rides or drives in a motor vehicle daily. That makes car crashes the most indiscriminate killer in existance.
Last year, there were more than 125,000 traffic crashes resulting in 821 deaths and approximately 50,000 injuries. DRIVE SMART Virginia is a crucial force in the continued reduction of these statistics. Our mission will be advanced by fostering relationships with community partners, targeting and protecting those most vulnerable on our roadways, sharing our story through training and media opportunities, and promoting enhanced enforcement and engineering advancements.
