Verra Mobility Teams with National Coalition for Safer Roads to Highlight Traffic Safety During National Stop on Red Week

On August 3, 2026, Verra Mobility Corp (NASDAQ: VRRM) announced its collaboration with the National Coalition for Safer Roads (NCSR) to promote awareness during National Stop on Red Week. The campaign, themed *Stop Today. Protect Tomorrow.*, aims to emphasize the significance of responsible driving choices at intersections, reinforcing Verra Mobility's commitment to enhancing road safety for all users.

Central to this year's campaign are powerful testimonials from individuals directly affected by red-light running incidents. Julie Nicholson, a survivor of a red-light collision in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, and Jefohn Jefferson, who lost his father to a reckless driver at a young age, share their experiences to underscore the importance of every decision made at traffic signals.

"National Stop on Red Week is more than a campaign, it's a call to action," stated Melissa Wandall, president of the National Coalition for Safer Roads. "Every time we approach an intersection, we have an opportunity to make a choice that can protect lives and prevent serious injuries."

Verra Mobility's automated enforcement initiatives have yielded promising results in improving driver behavior in communities equipped with red-light safety cameras. For instance, San Jose experienced a 28% reduction in traffic violations within the first 60 days following the implementation of its red-light program. Merced reported a nearly 50% decrease in traffic fatalities after launching its own safety program.

National statistics highlight the effectiveness of red-light safety camera programs, which have been shown to reduce fatal red-light-running crash rates by 21% in large urban areas. Conversely, communities that have discontinued these programs have seen a troubling 30% spike in such crashes. Despite these advancements, the issue of red-light running continues to escalate, with fatalities linked to red-light runners rising by approximately 60% over the past decade, from 711 deaths in 2014 to 1,119 in 2024, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).

Stacey Moser, chief customer officer of Verra Mobility, remarked, "Behind every red-light-running statistic is a person, family, or community living with the lasting consequences of a preventable tragedy. The encouraging results we're seeing in communities across the country show that when communities invest in comprehensive safety efforts, drivers respond."

National Stop on Red Week serves as a critical opportunity for communities to reinforce the importance of simple, life-saving choices at intersections.
