Mission Statement

The Arizona Governor's Office of Highway Safety (GOHS) is the focal point for highway safety issues in Arizona.  GOHS provides leadership by developing, promoting, and coordinating programs that influence public and private policy by increasing public awareness of highway safety issues. Funded programs target speed reduction, decreasing impaired driving, increasing seat belt and child safety seat usage as well as motorcycle safety awareness and driver distractions that cause traffic fatalities and injuries on our streets and highways. GOHS provides grant funding to law enforcement agencies, fire departments, and non-profit organizations throughout Arizona.
