IBTTA

As the holiday season begins, IBTTA is reminding our global community: safety is a shared responsibility, wherever your journey takes you. Travel volumes are surging worldwide. In the U.S., AAA is forecasting record-breaking holiday travel, and many countries are seeing the same upward trend. With more people on the move, roads become busier, conditions change quickly, and the risks for drivers, responders, and workers increase. This season, let’s Be Safe Together. Be the Highway Hero. Choose the simple actions that save lives: 🚗💨 Slow down ➡️ Move over 👀 Stay focused 🚫🍸 Drive sober And as millions travel, we’re especially grateful for the roadway workers, traffic incident responders, tolling professionals, law enforcement, and first responders who work through the holidays to keep people safe and moving. We all have someone waiting for us. Let’s help everyone get home safely—no matter where in the world their journey begins. #Gratitude #BeSafeTogether #BetheHighwayHero #MovingWithIBTTA Ferzan Ahmed Bill M.

The latest NTSB hearing on the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse underscores the complexity of the infrastructure we depend on every day — and how quickly critical systems can be disrupted. As Maryland advances its recovery and rebuilding efforts, our industry stands with them. Events like this reinforce the importance of rigorous safety practices, strong risk management, and continued investment in resilient transportation networks.

Big thanks to our IBTTA member Transurban for an amazing behind-the-scenes tour of the 495, 95, and 395 Express Lanes in #Virginia! From state-of-the-art operations to a rock-solid focus on #safety, your team showed us how tech + teamwork are making travel smoother, smarter, and more reliable — whether people are hopping in their cars or catching transit. And a huge congrats on the upcoming opening of #495NEXT! A great milestone — and a great example of how public-private partnerships can deliver real mobility choices for the region.
