• Abstract:
  The project objectives were as follows: • Objective 1. Engage traditional and new stakeholders in a partnership to increase public awareness and deliver continuous education to prevent large truck crashes in a state truck education and outreach partnership (ND TE-OP). The notion of a TOL would be explored as a facet in the sustained partnership. This position would provide continuity in activities, communications, relationships, and ongoing improvement initiatives. • Objective 2. Analyze North Dakota crash and citation records, with a spatial association, to identify statewide priorities, at-need driver groups, and high-risk regions in a data-informed annual education and outreach program for the state. • Objective 3. Develop training and outreach products aimed at large truck fact sharing, teen driver education, and truck driver career insights. • Objective 4. Develop roles to facilitate and deliver large truck safety education to a diverse audience. The Vision Zero and broader Safe System approaches created a shared space for traditional partners to engage a breadth of stakeholders in pursuing these objectives. We recognize that two National Roadway Safety Strategy objectives are clearly encompassed in a strategic partnership with Safer People and Safety Speeds (US DOT, 2022). Opportunities may certainly arise to highlight elements in roadways, vehicles, and incident management.
