Abstract The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Safety, Office of Safety Research and Development, and Resource Center Safety and Design Technical Services Team have come together to develop this Safe Roads for a Safer Future – A Joint Safety Strategic Plan (hereafter referred to as the Safety Strategic Plan or SSP). The process brings together these safety units to focus on a common vision: toward zero deaths and serious injuries. The SSP communicates the shared safety vision and mission and identifies high-level strategic goals that will guide decisions on priorities and resources to accomplish the mission. The SSP’s vision, mission, and goals are summarized below: Vision: Toward zero deaths and serious injuries on the Nation’s roadways. Mission: Exercising leadership throughout the highway community to make the Nation’s roadways safer by: (1) Developing, evaluating, and deploying life-saving countermeasures; (2) Advancing the use of scientific methods and data-driven decisions; (3) Fostering a safety culture; and (4) Promoting an integrated, multidisciplinary (4E’s) approach to safety. Goals: Fifteen goals are grouped in four different perspectives: (1) Employee Learning and Growth (internal); (2) Business Practices/Internal Processes (internal); (3) Program and Service Delivery (external); and (4) Customers, Stakeholders, and Partners (external). The safety units will implement the SSP in close collaboration with all FHWA Headquarters and field offices.
