In addition, given that you can’t track what you don’t measure, through a cooperative agreement with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), NETS has developed the Cost of Crashes Calculator to help you measure your company’s cost of collisions so you can make the case to senior leadership for investing in a comprehensive road safety program.
