Speeding is one of the leading causes of preventable traffic deaths in the U.S., with nearly 12,000 lives lost in 2023 alone. Repeat offenders—“super speeders”—pose the greatest danger, and traditional penalties often fail to stop them.
Intelligent Speed Assistance (ISA) technology can prevent vehicles from exceeding speed limits, intervening before crashes happen and protecting drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists alike.
Families for Safe Streets has championed the use of ISA, helping pass legislation in Virginia, Washington, and D.C., with additional bills under consideration in dozens of other states. Our goal is simple: no family should have to lose a loved one to preventable speeding.

A “super speeder” is a driver who either speeds frequently or drives at extremely high speeds even occasionally—such as in drag racing or street racing. These drivers pose a serious risk to everyone on the road, contributing to preventable crashes and fatalities. Traditional penalties often fail to deter them, making targeted interventions crucial.
-
ISA technology gently controls the accelerator to keep vehicles within speed limits, helping prevent crashes and protecting everyone on the road.
-
Families for Safe Streets has helped pass ISA legislation in Virginia, Washington State, and D.C., with programs launching soon. New York City piloted ISA in municipal fleets and is expanding it to all non‑emergency vehicles. Other U.S. cities, including Ventura County (CA) and Somerville (MA), have also adopted ISA in public fleets. Internationally, Transport for London has equipped about half its bus fleet with ISA, with all new buses required to have the technology since 2019.
-
You can support ISA legislation, sign petitions, advocate with local and state governments, and encourage organizations to equip their fleets with ISA technology. Families for Safe Streets provides resources, fact sheets, and a coalition to help you get involved.
Learn how advocates, just like you, are moving their state legislators to introduce a bill to Stop Super Speeders.
