Rural roadway departures make up a third of U.S. traffic fatalities—about 30 people a day. The Every Day Counts round five (EDC-5) initiative, Focus on Reducing Rural Roadway Departures (FoRRRwD), features four pillars: Addressing All Public Roads, Systemic Approach, Safety Action Plans, and Proven Countermeasures. This webinar focuses on the Safety Action Plans pillar. Reducing rural roadway departure crashes requires an integrated, disciplined approach. State, local, and tribal agencies – come discover how safety action plans can help prioritize safety improvements and justify investment decisions.
