Mike Baldwin,  Manager 
The safety of our Nation's highways is dependent upon the efficiency and effectiveness of the efforts of the entire highway safety community. In order to enable these professionals to maximize the impact of their effort to reduce motor vehicle crashes and the results of these crashes, NHTSA provides for the availability of training programs through the Transportation Safety Institute. These training courses enable Federal, state, and local highway safety professionals to perform at state-of-the-art levels in the enforcement of drunk driving laws; the design and management of highway safety programs; the delivery of emergency medical services; encouraging the use of safety belts, child safety seats, motorcycle and bicycle helmets and other safety systems; and to assist in training of other highway safety professionals to these levels of capability.
