IADLEST is honored to announce the partnership between the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) will continue for the 10th consecutive year into 2025. The previous Data-Driven Strategies to Reduce Crashes and Crime and the Reducing Large Commercial Motor Vehicle Crashes Through a Data-Driven Approach and Training projects have been streamlined into one more efficient project. This year the Using Data-Driven Strategies, Analysis, & Training to Reduce Crashes and Social Harms and Save Lives project will provide law enforcement across the state with greater flexibility to take full advantage of a wide variety of free nationally certified training and analytical assistance.
IADLEST and the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) established a one of kind partnership beginning in October 2015. This unique collaborative endeavor provides law enforcement officials and agencies with the tools to develop a holistic approach to assist TxDOT with its ongoing efforts to increase public safety by reducing crashes and other social harms throughout the state. IADLEST is proud to have the opportunity to continue working with law enforcement professionals through Texas.
The project provides training in two areas.
1) Data-Driven Strategies and Analytical Training to Reduce Crashes and Social Harms
This segment is a multi-faceted program that provides agencies and their members with a variety of on-site and remote analytical/technical assistance and training and is geared to the specific needs of a given agency and its personnel, regardless of its current size or analytical capacities, at no cost to the agency.

2) Engaging Large Trucks and Buses Training.
