Roadway Safety
Crashes occur due to a combination of factors related to the roadway user, the vehicle, and the roadway. All of these factors must be considered when developing projects or programs with the intent to enhance safety and reduce fatalities and serious injuries. The department's safety related initiatives were developed and are refined with this in mind and are consistent with the Strategic Highway Safety Plan. The information is categorized by activities in Engineering, Education, Enforcement, Emergency Services and Evaluation for your convenience. The goal is not only to showcase how we work to fulfill our mission, but also to demonstrate how all of our partners and stakeholders can get involved and partner with us to Drive Zero Fatalities to a Reality.
