Verra Mobility and National Coalition for Safer Roads raise awareness during National Stop on Red Week

Red-light-running crash survivors tell stories of the impact of their tragedy

New data shows red-light safety cameras can help decrease traffic fatalities

MESA, Ariz., Aug. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Verra Mobility (NASDAQ: VRRM) is joining the National Coalition for Safer Roads (NCSR) and communities across the country in recognizing National Stop on Red Week. This year’s campaign theme, Stop Today. Protect Tomorrow., reminds audiences that one responsible choice behind the wheel can help prevent a lifetime of loss – aligning with Verra Mobility’s mission of increasing road safety for all users.

This year’s campaign shares the stories behind why these programs are so critical. Julie Nicholson, who survived being hit by a red-light runner while running in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park, and Jefohn Jefferson, whose father was killed by a reckless driver when he was five years old, share their experiences, which serve as a solemn reminder of why every choice at an intersection matters.

“National Stop on Red Week is more than a campaign, it’s a call to action,” said 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. Stopping at a red light may seem like a small decision, but its impacts are far-reaching. Every safe stop helps ensure that a parent, a child, a friend, a colleague, or a neighbor makes it home safely.”

Data from Verra Mobility’s automated enforcement programs demonstrate how driver behavior improves in communities using red-light safety cameras. When San Jose launched its red-light program late last year, it saw a 28% decrease in violations during the first 60 days of the program. In Merced, traffic fatalities declined nearly 50% following the launch of its red-light safety program.

National data show that red-light safety camera programs reduce fatal red-light-running crash rates by 21% in large cities, while communities that have removed these programs have experienced a 30% increase in such crashes. Despite the success of these programs, red-light running remains a growing safety concern. According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), fatalities involving a red-light runner have increased by nearly 60% over the past decade, rising from 711 deaths in 2014 to 1,119 in 2024.

“Behind every red-light-running statistic is a person, family, or community living with the lasting consequences of a preventable tragedy,” said Stacey Moser, chief customer officer, Verra Mobility. “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 is an opportunity to reinforce the simple choices that help keep intersections safe for everyone.”

JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology Publishes 12-Month Outcomes from Field Medical’s First-in-Human Field PULSE Trial: 94.2% Per-Vein PVI Durability with Optimized Waveform

Late-breaking HRX data advance Field Medical’s “instantaneous ablation” workflow and expand the clinical evidence for high-voltage focal PFA with the FieldForce™ PFA System

ATLANTA and CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Field Medical, Inc., advancing high-voltage focal pulsed field ablation (PFA) for complex arrhythmias, today announced publication of 12-month results from the first-in-human Field PULSE trial in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology. The findings were presented simultaneously as a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial at HRX Live 2026.

Field Medical developed the FieldForce™ PFA System around a high-voltage focal PFA architecture designed first for the ventricle, where depth, stability and control are among the most difficult challenges in ablation. Field PULSE extends that work into the atrium and evaluates a subsecond point-by-point workflow Field Medical terms “instantaneous ablation.” In this study, the approach was associated with procedural efficiency, durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and flexibility beyond the pulmonary veins, without the need for prolonged catheter stability.

Key Findings:

Procedural efficiency with subsecond focal PFA: 13-minute median elapsed PVI ablation time, with a fastest time of 7.7 minutesDurable PVI with the optimized waveform: 94.2% per-vein durability reflecting progressive improvement with waveform evolutionFlexible focal ablation: 49% of patients received non-PV ablation for additional atrial targetsNo primary safety events were observed80% freedom from atrial arrhythmias at 12 months with the optimized waveform

“Field PULSE demonstrates the feasibility of truly instantaneous focal PFA,” said Vivek Reddy, M.D., co-principal investigator, lead author and electrophysiologist at Mount Sinai Health System. “Delivering the full application in less than 200 milliseconds reduces the need for prolonged catheter stability while preserving the flexibility of point-by-point ablation. The procedural efficiency, safety and pulmonary vein durability observed with the optimized waveform support continued clinical development of this approach.”

The publication builds on Field Medical’s peer-reviewed clinical work in ventricular tachycardia. Six-month outcomes from the company’s first-in-human VCAS trial were published in Circulation in 2025. Field PULSE now adds first-in-human, peer-reviewed atrial data evaluating the same high-voltage focal PFA architecture through a distinct focal workflow in a different cardiac substrate.

“We designed FieldForce to solve some of the hardest problems in focal cardiac ablation, beginning in the ventricle,” said Mark A. Turco, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Field Medical. “Field PULSE demonstrates that the same high-voltage focal PFA architecture can support an ‘instantaneous ablation’ workflow in the atrium. This growing body of evidence reinforces the range of the platform: depth and focal control in the ventricle, speed and precision in the atrium, and the versatility to address very different cardiac substrates through a familiar point-by-point approach. These results add important clinical evidence as we continue to advance our differentiated PFA platform.”

The study, “High-Voltage Focal PFA Catheter for ‘Instant’ Point-By-Point Ablation: The First-In-Human FIELD-PULSE Trial to Treat AF,” was published online in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology concurrent with the HRX presentation. DOI: 10.1016/j.jacep.2026.09.001.

About Field Medical®, Inc.
Field Medical is a clinical-stage medical technology company committed to advancing pulsed field ablation (PFA) solutions for complex cardiac arrhythmias. The company was founded by Steven Mickelsen, M.D., CTO, a pioneer and global thought leader in PFA whose work has helped shape the evolution of the field. The FieldForce PFA System integrates a focal catheter design with proprietary FieldBending™ energy designed to safely deliver efficient, precise ablation with the goal of improving outcomes in ventricular and atrial arrhythmia treatment. In 2024, Field Medical earned Breakthrough Device Designation and gained entry into the FDA TAP Pilot Program for its ventricular tachycardia indication. In October 2025, the VCAS trial was published in Circulation.
