(Harrisburg, PA) PennDOT is now asking drivers in Pennsylvania to participate in a traffic safety and driving behavior survey online that aims to help the administration of Governor Josh Shapiro reduce fatalities and improve safety on roadways across the state. This voluntary survey seeks input on various behaviors that are behind the wheel, which includes distracted driving, impaired driving, seat belt use, and speeding through its questions. You can access this survey to take it before the deadline of February 28th, 2026 by clicking here. Roadway fatalities on highways in Pennsylvania decreased to 1,127 in 2024, which marks the second-lowest number since the state began keeping records in 1928. While 2025 data is incomplete as of now, preliminary figures indicate that crash fatalities have decreased for the second year in a row. PennDOT Secretary Mike Carroll emphasized that feedback from the public is necessary to maintain this downward trend in deaths on highways.
