| Abstract | States use a variety of countermeasures to reduce traffic crashes, injuries, and fatalities within their jurisdictions. These countermeasures focus primarily on engineering, law enforcement, and public education (NHTSA, 2006). NHTSA's bi-annual publication, Countermeasures That Work: A Highway Safety Countermeasure Guide for State Highway Safety Offices (henceforth referred to as Countermeasures That Work or CMTW), documents existing behavioral traffic safety countermeasures and rates countermeasures for demonstrated effectiveness. However, the most effective countermeasures are not adopted or implemented consistently across States. The objective for this study was to identify proven countermeasures that, if adopted, would help States achieve progress “Toward Zero Deaths.” |
