TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ADVANCEMENT GROUP
“The Transportation Safety Advancement Group (TSAG) is an assembly of multi-discipline professionals sharing a common concern for transportation and public safety. TSAG serves as a forum for providing technologies for public safety input and guidance to the US Department of Transportation, ITS Joint Program Office.”
“TSAG members are representatives of key interest-communities, including Fire & Rescue, Emergency Communications, Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services, Transportation Operations, Emergency Management, Technology & Telematics, and Academic & Research. TSAG members are expert practitioners from public and private transportation operations and public safety arenas and serve an official outreach and knowledge transfer function on behalf of the ITS Joint Program Office.”

ACCIDENTAL DEATH & DISABILITY:THE NEGLECTED DISEASE OF MODERN SOCIETY
Trekmedics.org “In 1965, 52 million accidental injuries killed 107,000, temporarily disabled over 10 million and permanently impaired 400,000 American citizens at a cost of approximately $18 billion. This neglected epidemic of modern society is the nation’s most important environmental health problem. It is the leading cause of death in the first half of life’s span.”
“Although 49,000 deaths in 1965 were due to motor-vehicle accidents, more than this number died from accidents at work, in the home, in other forms of transportation, in public buildings, in recreational activities, etc.”
National Academy of Sciences (US) and National Research Council (US) Committee on Trauma; National Academy of Sciences (US) and National Research Council (US) Committee on Shock. Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society. Washington (DC): National Academies Press (US); 1966. INTRODUCTION.

HIGHWAY SAFETY ACT OF 1966
Creates the National Traffic Safety Agency (Within Commerce)
Emergency Care Training Vehicle Safety Standards
EMERGENCY RESPONDER CHALLENGES
Rural Fire/EMS: Volunteers Training/Meeting: Evenings & Weekends
Rural Law Enforcement: FT/PT/Volunteers Time/Distance: Responding/Transporting Patients Communication Capabilities DOT Assistance (?) NG911/Responder Distraction Lack of participation regarding highway
development planning
SUGGESTIONS
State Highway Safety Strategic Plan Are Emergency Response Stakeholder Organizations
(i.e., LE, Fire, EMS, Emergency Management) Included in Development?
Regional Transportation Organizations Are Emergency Response Stakeholder Organizations
Included? Example: NITTEC http://www.nittec.org/ Local Traffic Safety Board
Are Emergency Response Stakeholder Organizations Included? *Volunteer Response Agencies
SUGGESTIONS
Debriefings: Major crashes (e.g., Fatality) Major Weather Related Events
Data-Driven Approaches to Crime and Traffic Safety (DDACTS) NHTSA and USDOJ: Geo-mapping/hot spots
DDACTS
The Evolution of Toward Zero Deaths
“In 2009, multiple traffic safety stakeholders began the dialogue toward creating a national strategic highway safety plan…”“…that there should be a vision to which the nation
aspires...” “…group concluded that the elimination of highway deaths is the appropriate goal, as even one death is unacceptable…”“…The name of this effort became “Toward Zero
Deaths: A National Strategy on Highway Safety.”
