Goals of this Webinar
have an overview of the ways that transportation agencies can work with law enforcement to assist with efforts to reach zero fatalities. Law enforcement is a KEY safety stakeholder and efforts by both law enforcement officials and transportation practitioners would be even more effective through coordination and collaboration.

Zero Deaths
The United States Department of Transportation's Strategic Plan, articulates the goal of "working toward no fatalities across all modes of travel“

Towards Zero Deaths
The National Strategy is a “single specificinitiative that brings together all the variousstakeholders nationwide with a role in high-way safety to unite in a common effort andinitiative.”

TZD & SHSP
• Mandated by MAP-21 & FAST Act• Requirement to receive HSIP Funding• Implementation of TZD through State’s SHSP• Data Driven• Comprehensive• Multidisciplinary• Guides Investment Decisions

Road to Zero
Zero traffic deaths sounds like a lofty goal, but it’s attainable based on a few driving principles:• Traffic fatalities and injuries are preventable• A future with zero traffic deaths is more certain than ever
with the emergence of self-driving cars and the Safe Systems transportation approach
• A coordinated effort that brings together multiple stakeholders with the same goal can achieve more than individual organizations working independently
10
Vision Zero Network
• Vision Zero acknowledges that traffic deaths and severe injuries are preventable and sets the goal of eliminating both in a set time frame with clear, measurable strategies.
• Vision Zero is a multidisciplinary approach, bringing together diverse and necessary stakeholders to address this complex problem.
11
12
Comparisons of Zero Philosophies
• Traffic deaths are preventable
• Coordinated efforts
• Collaboration
• Multidisciplinary
• Data-driven
Common Themes Differences
• TZD• State SHSP focused• USDOT partners
• Road to Zero• NSC lead, USDOT partners• Grant funding available• Autonomous vehicles
• Vision Zero• City focused• Non-profit supported• Speed Mgmt

Safety Culture
“We need to transform our culture, from a culture that accepts loss of life and limb as a price of mobility, to one in which elected officials, transportation professionals, and individual citizens expect safety, demand safety, and refuse to accept that an annual casualty count roughly equal to the population of Arkansas is a fair priceto pay for mobility.”
—Peter Kissinger, Director of AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety
70
Safety Culture
Definition: “The shared values, actions, and behaviors that demonstrate a commitment to safety over competing goals and demands.”
Definition: “Traffic safety culture can be defined as the perceptions people have about what behaviors are normal in their peer group and their expectations for how that group reacts to violations to these behavioral norms. In terms for traffic safety, this definition applies to behaviors that either increase crash risk (e.g., speeding) or are protective (e.g., wearing seatbelts), as well as behaviors related to acceptance or rejection of traffic safety interventions.”
—Nic Ward, Ph.D., Western Transportation Institute
71
Safety Culture
• The goal of the traffic safety culture paradigm is to develop a process for changing values and attitudes so that safety is part of every transportation decision, whether individual or organizational.
• Traditional methods have only gone so far (engineering, education, enforcement); they target behaviors rather than their impetus; are short-term; and are one-dimensional.
• A shift in culture will require a long-term commitment; focus on the “whys” of risky behaviors; collaboration with other public health partners; research; and ways to measure success.
ITE May 201472
Traffic Safety Culture Index
• AAA Foundation’s Traffic Safety Culture Index (TSCI)– Began in 2008
– Measure knowledge, attitudes, behaviors & experiences relevant to traffic safety
– Created a baseline measure of traffic safety culture of the nation
– Track traffic safety culture trends over time
