• Abstract:
  Many diverse factors contribute to motor vehicle crashes. States have multiple competing priorities and limited resources to address these priorities, so there is a need, particularly in our current economic climate, to prioritize interventions and solutions in order to maximize the effectiveness of programs and policies and improve outcomes. In order to target interventions, there is a need for an evidence-based approach in the implementation of best practices. The purpose of this Safety Data Analysis project was to help identify the primary causes of fatal and serious injury crashes by studying crash characteristics and provide an inventory of effective traffic safety programs that can be implemented across the I-95 Corridor Coalition states and the District of Columbia to improve safety for the motoring public. The ultimate objective was to produce a set of best practices for State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), criminal justice agencies and other safety organizations for dealing effectively with the major causes of fatal and serious injury crashes that occur on their roads. The rationale underlying this objective is that a significant reduction in deaths, serious injuries, and traffic infractions can result from the implementation of these best practices, thus protecting the public and improving the efficient flow of transportation within the I-95 Corridor Coalition jurisdictions.
