Our practices need to change in response to these changing priorities. Now more than ever, people want safe roadways for their families and friends and streets that support economic development and community health. We all need to take a fresh look at our transportation decision making, policies, processes, and procedures to make sure safety is truly the priority. We also know that doing the same things will not bring us different outcomes. The Safe System Approach (SSA) has taught us that the responsibility for this goal must be shared by all of us. We stand firm in our conviction that one life lost is too many, which is why every day we reassert our commitment to zero roadway deaths. We lost 42,795 cherished lives in motor vehicle crashes in 2022. Regrettably, we are still facing a national crisis. The Call to Action encourages stakeholders to redouble their efforts to transform how we as a Nation think about road safety, actively reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries on America’s roads and streets, and expand adoption of a Safe System Approach and a Zero Fatalities vision. Join in or spread the word! USDOT has launched a Call-to-Action campaign, inviting stakeholders to share how they are embracing the NRSS vision of eliminating roadway fatalities.
