Roadway Safety Outreach Program

Deaths and injuries on America's roadways are not only costly, they are also a national tragedy. Presented with the basic facts, public officials, motorists and pedestrians across the country may be able to take the necessary steps to enable future generations to travel on the safest roadway network in the world. This site presents those basic facts to enable anyone to view, download and share.

With advances in engineering, highway design, and traffic control technologies, America's roadways are now being built with more roadside safety features than ever. Yet, much of the nation's four million miles of streets and highways can be even further retrofitted for safety. Appropriate safety upgrades on the most dangerous roadways could also be implemented quickly, and at a low-cost, which would substantially reduce both the number and the severity of crashes.

The Roadway Safety Outreach Program was developed by members of ATSSA's Safety and Public Awareness (SPA) Committee.  The site helps promote roadway safety methods and data to a wide variety of audiences. Select these audiences by choosing one of the black tabs above, or choose from one of the many resources to the left. Information can be downloaded and printed for ATSSA members and others to share with motorists, elected officials, educators, law enforcement - anyone - in their local communities across the country.
