Law Enforcement Advisory Board

About

There are more than 164,000 miles of highway traversing the American landscape, forming the backbone of our four-million-mile-long public road network. In a country as vast and geographically diverse as ours, the interstate system is what literally connects our nation as one. And no two groups in society have a stronger and more consistent presence on our nation's highways than law enforcement officers and American truckers.

Ensuring the freedom of travel and the safe passage of vehicles is of paramount importance to both the law enforcement community and the trucking industry. In partnering together, trucking and law enforcement are uniquely positioned to enhance highway safety and the security of freight transportation across the country. 

ATA established the Law Enforcement Advisory Board in 2021 to help strengthen the ties between the trucking industry and law enforcement community and better align our resources toward common goals.
