Implementing the National Roadway Safety Strategy

U.S. DOT is committed to the ambitious long-term goal of reaching zero roadway fatalities and has adopted the Safe System Approach to help address the crisis on our roadways.

The Safe System Approach is the guiding paradigm of the National Roadway Safety Strategy (NRSS), and we are dedicated to implementing the actions outlined in the NRSS to move us closer to our zero deaths goal.  

What Is U.S. DOT Doing about Roadway Fatalities?

We are committed to reducing traffic fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways. The NRSS articulates new priority actions that target our most significant and urgent problems and are, therefore, expected to have the most substantial impact. It also focuses on notable changes to existing practices and approaches.
