Description:

Over the last 10 years, vehicle crashes have averaged more than 5.7 million per year. Twenty-one percent of those crashes—nearly1.21 million— occurred under adverse weather conditions. On average, nearly 6,000 people are killed and over 445,000 are injured in weather-related crashes each year. Likewise, the delays associated with weather can be profound, resulting in significant losses in efficiency. WRTM strategies provide relevant and timely information to agencies on the need for appropriate traffic intervention methods to mitigate the impacts of weather-related road and traffic conditions. The result is improved mobility, reduced delays, and safer travel during inclement weather. WRMM strategies are also used by agencies to improve mobility and safety in adverse weather, as well as reduce the negative environmental impacts and costs associated with road salt use.
