Abstract:There is an urgency to initiate innovative approaches to transportation safety to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries in South Dakota. Therefore, the South Dakota Department of Transportation is exploring the implementation of a zero-fatality transportation safety initiative. A literature review of national strategies and relevant policies from neighboring states was conducted for the purpose of developing an initiative implementation plan aligned with South Dakota’s safety goals, unique landscape, demographics, and challenges. Interviews were conducted with South Dakota’s peer states to further enrich the findings, allowing stakeholders to take advantage of lessons learned and avoid potential pitfalls. A review of South Dakota state standards and policies as well as interviews with state and local agencies identified gaps to further derive recommendations for a comprehensive implementation plan that features agency-specific recommendations and impact evaluation indicators. The resulting implementation plan will serve as a guiding document for a zero-fatality transportation safety initiative to drive a future of vital safety projects, increase awareness and education, coordinate and inspire stakeholders, and build a transportation safety movement that will save lives, prevent injury, and reduce costs.
