Abstract:Despite intensive efforts on the part of the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and Vision Zero, fatalities in the state of Utah have seen only a modest decrease, with the most recent years exhibiting an uptick in fatalities. Achieving a goal of zero road fatalities is of great importance to UDOT. Using an extensive network of contacts abroad (such as in Greece, Italy, Israel, and Denmark), Avenue Consultants was able to provide UDOT with a number of policies and strategies designed to reduce traffic fatalities that have been implemented in foreign countries, with the goal of presenting examples of strategies that UDOT could implement with the goal of reducing road fatalities. Extensive background research was performed on multiple countries to identify their current safety initiatives and to identify which countries had seen significant decreases in roadway fatalities over the last decade. Contacts were then identified for each of the countries that had seen significant decreases in roadway fatalities through internet search or through contacts known to Avenue Consultants. A survey was developed, and a survey link sent to each country; the survey inquired about traffic safety initiatives in each country, details on how traffic fatality prevention was approached, successes that were seen in reducing fatalities and injuries, and other factors. Results from the survey were compiled and then studied. Responses from the survey revealed several strategies aimed at mitigating roadway safety concerns seen abroad and in Utah.
