Distracted Driving in the US Public Sector

Posted: 12/18/2025

Samsara's new report "Behind the Wheel: Distracted Driving in the US Public Sector" uncovers firsthand insights from drivers and provides practical solutions and actionable strategies to help public sector organizations reduce risk, enhance driver safety, and foster a culture of safer driving that protects the public and strengthens community trust.

Distracted driving is a critical challenge affecting US public sector fleets and drivers, impacting operational safety, fiscal responsibility, and public trust. In 2023 alone, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported 3,275 individuals were killed and an estimated 324,819 injured in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers ... each a preventable tragedy.

This risk is particularly acute for those operating public sector vehicles. Whether it’s law enforcement cruisers, transit and school buses, or heavy service equipment, a single moment of inattention can lead to devastating consequences, including serious injuries, fatalities, disrupted public services, and significant financial liabilities.
