70 of every 100 will be injured in a crash during their lifetimes…some more than once.
Of every 90 children born this year…One will die
violently in a highway crash during
his/her lifetime.
STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN
The GoalThe Goal
Reduce the incidence and severity of motor vehicle crashes.
Lower the rate to not more than 1 fatality per 100 million VMT
And…
STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN
Save LivesSave Lives
Reduce the highway death rate by one-third.
Prevent 9,000 deaths each year in traffic crashes.
STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN
Added Benefit to SocietyAdded Benefit to Society
Drive down the costs to society of motor vehicle crashes.
Total economic cost of roadway crashes: $230
billion a year.
