Waymo Joins Together for Safer Roads; Will Co-Host 2026 Conversation Series on Fleet Safety and the Future Economy
New York, NY (February 9, 2026) — Together for Safer Roads (TSR), a global non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing road safety through cross-sector collaboration, today announced Waymo as its newest member. As a leader in autonomous driving technology, Waymo brings deep technical expertise and a commitment to data-driven learning and safe fleet operations to TSR’s expansive network of fleet operators, vehicle manufacturers, city partners, and technology companies
As part of its membership, Waymo and TSR will launch a joint Conversation Series in 2026 focused on the intersection of autonomy, fleet operations, safety, and the future economy. The series will convene leaders from a cross-sector of key actors, including fleets, cities, technologists and drivers for a set of structured discussions designed to elevate informed, practical dialogue around issues shaping fleet safety, technology, and operations.
“As an organization that sits at the intersection of many of the most pressing fleet safety issues today, it is essential that Together for Safer Roads helps facilitate informed conversations about autonomy and its implications across the commercial sector,” said Peter Goldwasser, Executive Director of Together for Safer Roads. “With Waymo as its newest member and partner, TSR has the opportunity to do exactly that, drawing on their extensive expertise, experience, and learnings to bring fleets, cities, and technology leaders together around practical, real-world questions and potential solutions to critical questions. We are thrilled to have Waymo join.”
“Together for Safer Roads brings a valuable, cross-sector perspective to complex safety challenges,” said Matthew Walsh, Regional Head of State & Local Public Policy – East at Waymo. “We look forward to collaborating with TSR and its members to explore questions around fleet safety, operations, and how emerging technologies are shaping the now and future of fleets.”
Through its membership and the Conversation Series, Waymo joins TSR’s broader efforts to support safer fleets, stronger partnerships between public and private stakeholders, and data-driven approaches to reducing crashes and fatalities. In particular, Waymo will help inform key discussions amongst a broad cross-section of constituencies concerning the how, when and degree by which autonomy will affect the future of fleets across a variety of industries.
