Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and
the Virginia Highway Safety Office, I am pleased to welcome
you to the 2025 Virginia Highway Safety Summit.
This gathering brings together a powerful and diverse
network of professionals—law enforcement officers, safety
advocates, nonprofit leaders, researchers, educators, and public servants—united by a shared mission: saving lives on Virginia’s roads. Your work is critical, and the impact of your efforts reverberates through every community in the Commonwealth.
The Summit is more than a professional development opportunity—it is a moment to pause, reflect, and re-energize. It is a chance to learn from one another, discover new strategies, strengthen collaborations, and renew our commitment to a safer future for all road users. Whether you are here to share best practices, gain new insights, or build new partnerships, your presence signals a collective dedication to innovation and progress.
Together, we are building a culture of safety. Thank you for your continued leadership, your service, and your commitment to making Virginia’s roads safer for everyone.
Yours in service,
Gerald Lackey
Commissioner, Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles
