Enhancing Highway Safety: Lessons from the Missouri Traffic & Safety Conference

At the 2013 Missouri Traffic & Safety Conference, Romell Cooks highlighted significant data and lessons learned in highway safety. Despite a drastic increase in motor vehicle deaths from 1980 to 2013, with 51,091 fatalities reported, the alarming role of impaired drivers continues. Young drivers (ages 16-24) accounted for nearly half of these fatalities. The introduction of MAP-21's Section 405 aims to consolidate grant programs for flexibility and focus on key issues like distracted driving and alcohol impairment. Collaboration among law enforcement, advocates, and educators is crucial for reducing these statistics and improving safety.
