Abstract

Iowa is adopting the national vision for highway safety – Toward Zero Deaths. The vision of the Toward Zero Deaths effort is to eliminate all traffic fatalities, and is consistent with the vision in our 2006 Comprehensive Highway Safety Plan – “One Death is One Too Many.” The national goal is to reduce traffic fatalities by half by the year 2030. In the 2013 SHSP, it is our collective goal to achieve a 15 percent reduction in fatalities and major injuries on Iowa highways by the year 2020. We intend to accomplish this goal through the efforts of all safety partners. Toward that end, the SHSP is linked to the Highway Safety Plan, prepared by the Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau, and the Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan, prepared by Iowa DOT’s Motor Vehicle Division. We resolve to work together on the deployment and implementation of known safety strategies.
