A Record-Breaking Year: Stop Super Speeders Campaign Marks 2026 Legislative Session with Six States Enacting Life-Saving Speed Laws
Bipartisan coalition of crash survivors, lawmakers, and safety advocates pushes Intelligent Speed Assistance from a handful of early adopters into a national movement — with more states poised to act in 2027
Families for Safe Streets (FSS) marks a landmark 2026 legislative session for its national Stop Super Speeders campaign, which urges states to require Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology for the most dangerous repeat speeding offenders. In the span of a single session, the number of jurisdictions with enacted Stop Super Speeders laws tripled, growing from three (the District of Columbia, Virginia, and Washington) to nine, as six additional states passed legislation in 2026, while bills advanced in dozens more. With 2026 sessions now concluded in nearly every statehouse (North Carolina's among the few still underway with a bill progressing), the campaign is already looking ahead to 2027.
"A small group of repeat, reckless drivers cause an outsized share of the deaths on our roads, and for too long the traditional tools, tickets and license suspensions, have failed to stop them," said FSS President and founder Amy Cohen, whose 12-year-old son was killed in a crash. "This year proved that Stop Super Speeders isn't a partisan idea. It's common sense, and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are stepping up to save lives."
