• Abstract:
  The United States Department of Transportation National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS) outlines the Department’s comprehensive approach to significantly reducing serious injuries and deaths on our Nation’s highways, roads, and streets. This is the first step in working toward an ambitious long-term goal of reaching zero roadway fatalities. Safety is U.S. DOT’s top priority, and the NRSS represents a Department-wide approach to working with stakeholders across the country to achieve this goal. The NRSS sets a vision and goal for the safety of the Nation’s roadways, adopts the Safe System Approach principles to guide our safety actions, and identifies critical and significant actions the Department will take now in pursuit of five core objectives: Safer People, Safer Roads, Safer Vehicles, Safer Speeds, and Post-Crash Care. This document highlights new priority actions that target our most significant and urgent problems, and are, therefore, expected to have the most substantial impact. It also highlights notable changes to existing practices and approaches.
