Abstract:

Approximately 30% of all highway fatalities every year are youths between 15 and 24 years of age. The Youth Highway Safety Advisory Committee was organized by the Secretary of Transportation in 1970, to provide assistance to NHTSA in developing highway safety programs which would be effective in reducing accidents in this age group. A program designed to assist the States in establishing advisory and action groups at the State and local level was developed by the Committee. NHTSA Administrator James Gregory endorsed the concept and asked each State Governor to send two representatives to a conference in Scottsdale, Arizona, on March 29-31, 1974, at which the Committee's program was presented. Delegates from 47 States, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the Indian Nations attended the conference. As a follow-up to the conference, to create better communications in the area of youth highway safety activities, NHTSA decided to publish this newsletter. NHTSA believes that the exchange of information among the State and local youth leaders and within NHTSA will increase awareness of existing programs, foster new ideas, and involve more young people in the campaign for better highway safety.
