        The Problem - Today


Highway deaths
43,443 in 2005



    The fatality rate is unacceptably high:
      1.47 deaths per 100 million VMT
   STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN
          The Problem – Tomorrow
Of every 90 children born this year…
         One will die violently
          in a highway crash
               during his/her
                      lifetime.



                            70 of every 100 will be
                            injured in a crash during
                            their lifetimes…some
                            more than once.
    STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN
                      The 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 Lives
Prevent 9,000 deaths each year
in traffic crashes.




     Reduce the highway death rate by one-third.
     STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN
          Added Benefit to Society

Drive down
the costs to society                Total economic cost of
of motor vehicle                   roadway crashes: $230
crashes.                                     billion a year.




   STRATEGIC HIGHWAY SAFETY PLAN
            How Can We Do It?
