Since its inception two years ago, awareness of Utah's "Zero Fatalities" program has increased to an impressive 49 percent, while traffic fatalities have dropped by 24 percent since 2000. There is still work to be done as every life lost to traffic deaths still continues to impact us all. Convincing drivers to avoid dangerous driving behaviors and implementing measures to improve safety can help bring us closer to our goal of Zero Fatalities.
Despite the increasing numbers of drivers on our state's roadways, Utah continues to pave the way in traffic safety. But as long as traffic fatalities continue to occur, we know there is still more to do. Utah has the good fortune of countless individuals and organizations who have made it their mission to create transportation solutions designed to bring our friends and family home safely each night. It's important for these groups to set aside time to collaborate and share new findings with one another to ultimately reduce the loss of life on Utah's roadways.
