Two more committee webinars will be scheduled for 2021 in late September and early- to mid-December. These will focus on roundtable discussions.
The AASHTO Committee on Safety supports state efforts to advance multidisciplinary approaches to eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries and serves as a resource for the AASHTO community on technical and policy issues related to safety.
A National Strategy on Highway Safety is AASHTO’s adopted Strategic Highway Safety Plan which advocates for eliminating serious injuries and deaths on our nation’s roadways.
The Highway Safety Manual is a state-of-the-practice tool for incorporating quantitative safety analysis in the highway transportation project planning and development processes.
THE AASHTO COMMITTEE ON SAFETY (COS) supports states in moving the country “Toward Zero Deaths" for all road users on all our nation's roadways. Safety is a priority in every aspect of transportation: planning, project development, program management, operations and maintenance, and administration. The COS interfaces with other AASHTO committees, the Board of Directors and Executive Committee to advocate for safety excellence in all that transportation agencies do.
The COS advances the work of Toward Zero Deaths: A National Strategy on Highway Safety, the AASHTO Highway Safety Manual, transportation policy, local road safety, work zone safety, technical services, and workforce development. The subcommittees also support the development of research and resource materials to support states in their work to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities on our nation’s roadways. The committee also coordinates its efforts with several other traffic safety organizations and partners. Highlights of recent committee work is featured here.
