• Abstract:
  In 2018, 36,560 people were killed in traffic crashes on the Nation’s roadways. In a concerted effort to reduce fatalities, most States have adopted a zero deaths vision or approach in their Strategic Highway Safety Plans (SHSPs). In addition, more than 40 communities have committed to Vision Zero, a strategy to eliminate traffic deaths and severe injuries at the local and regional level. The growing number of communities, working to integrate a zero deaths vision and strategies into their traffic safety efforts, have created renewed opportunities for coordination and collaboration at the State and local level. To support effective safety partnerships that help work toward zero deaths, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) sponsored several State-based workshops where stakeholders discussed their safety priorities and strategies to achieve their shared goal of zero traffic deaths. In addition, FHWA conducted follow-up webinars and are developing a resource to help other States and local communities coordinate their zero deaths efforts.
