ODOT, in partnership with the Oregon State Police, will use recently awarded grant funds to enhance the scope of OSP’s High Visibility Enforcement Unit by equipping members of the team in each of the agency’s regions with dedicated mobile evidentiary breath-testing instruments. Currently, troopers often must transport suspects to fixed testing locations, which can cost valuable time and affect evidence quality.

The four new Intoxilyzer 9000 instruments funded through a grant are part of Oregon’s broader effort to secure 13 total mobile breath-testing devices statewide. These new instruments will allow law enforcement to collect roadside breath samples, reduce investigation time, improve identification of poly-substance impaired drivers, and expand access to consistent enforcement tools in rural and underserved communities across the state.

The grant was provided by the Governors Highway Safety Association, Responsibility.org and the National Alliance to Stop Impaired Driving, a coalition established and led by Responsibility.org. The group awarded approximately $1.35 million this year to State Highway Safety Offices nationwide to help reduce impaired driving.

Drivers hit and killed 7% fewer people walking on U.S. roads in 2025 compared to the year before – the largest annual reduction since pedestrian deaths began falling three years ago, according to a new data analysis from the Governors Highway Safety Association.

While this recent progress is welcome, the projected 6,732 pedestrian fatalities in 2025 were still 5% above the 2019 level, the last year before the pandemic caused widespread changes in traffic patterns and reductions in enforcement. Those deaths had a financial toll of nearly $94 billion from productivity losses, medical treatments, emergency services and legal fees, among other costs.

The data analysis, Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State: 2025 Preliminary Data, provides a first look at pedestrian safety trends and changes in fatalities at the state level, building upon a report GHSA issued earlier this year. The new report highlights how State Highway Safety Offices and their partners are leveraging enforcement, data, technology, education, infrastructure and other proven solutions to improve pedestrian safety and save lives.

TSO Director, LeeAnne Ferguson and Region 1 Safety Coordinator, Tiana Tozer were invited to be guest crew members at Bike First!, a half-day camp hosted by Inclusion Empowers June 27 - July 1 in Portland, Oregon.

The five-day specialized camp teaches children, teens, and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities how to ride two-wheel bicycles independently using one-on-one coaching and adapted equipment.

Participants attend one of five 1.25-hour daily sessions. Camp staff use collaboration build individualized programs, carefully considering the needs of each rider.

Bike First! solves the lack of access to cycling instruction for children with disabilities.
