## Making roads and vehicles safer for everyone.
The **Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)** is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational organization dedicated to reducing deaths, injuries and property damage from motor vehicle crashes through research and evaluation and through education of consumers, policymakers and safety professionals.
The **Highway Loss Data Institute (HLDI)** shares and supports this mission through scientific studies of insurance data representing the human and economic losses resulting from the ownership and operation of different types of vehicles and by publishing insurance loss results by vehicle make and model.
Both organizations are wholly supported by [these auto insurers and insurance associations](https://www.iihs.org/about/member-groups).
