<p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is ushering in a new era of opportunity for government. The technology holds the potential to redefine how federal agencies interact with citizens—offering more tailored, efficient, and proactive services. For a public that has grown accustomed to personalized digital experiences in the private sector, expectations are evolving. Citizens increasingly want government organizations to meet them where they are, with services that are both smarter and easier to navigate. Federal employees recognize this shift.</p>
<p>To learn where agencies are on their AI journey, what’s holding them back, and how governance can pave the way to innovation that genuinely enhances the citizen experience, Granicus partnered with GovExec Intelligence to conduct an online study and roundtable discussion to learn where agencies are on their AI journey, what’s holding them back, and how governance can pave the way to innovation that genuinely enhances the citizen experience.</p>

<p>Distracted driving is a critical challenge affecting US public sector fleets and drivers, impacting operational safety, fiscal responsibility, and public trust. In 2023 alone, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) reported <a href="https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/813703" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">3,275 individuals were killed and an estimated 324,819 were injured</a> in motor vehicle crashes involving distracted drivers—all preventable tragedies. This risk is particularly acute for those operating public sector vehicles; whether it’s law enforcement cruisers, transit and school buses, or heavy service equipment, a single moment of inattention can lead to devastating consequences, including serious injuries, fatalities, disrupted public services, and significant financial liabilities.</p>
<p>Our new report, Behind the Wheel: Distracted Driving in the US Public Sector, uncovers firsthand insights from drivers themselves. It provides practical solutions and actionable strategies to help public sector organizations reduce risk, enhance driver safety, and foster a culture of safer driving that protects the public and strengthens community trust.</p>
