Reduce Crashes

US highway official issues 'call to arms' to reduce crashes
08/04/2008

Quote:
WASHINGTON -- Even as the highway fatality rate is the lowest in history, acting Federal Highway Administrator Jim Ray issued a "call to arms" on highway safety last week, urging state Departments of Transportation to adopt more coordinated, system-wide approaches to reduce crashes.
"We are always seeking new ways to prevent tragedies where lives are lost," said Ray, the nation's top highway official. "We owe it to the traveling public to work even more creatively."

Each year, nearly 43,000 people - motorists, passengers and pedestrians - die on America's roads. Though the fatality rate -- 1.41 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled -- is the lowest in the nation's history, the number of fatalities has hovered at about the same point for nearly five years.
