Abstract:
In 2020, even though the volume of traffic was down overall, 38,824 people still died in motor vehicle crashes, and an estimated 2.28 million were injured. To reach the U.S. Department of Transportation's safety goals, the transportation sector needs to work together to identify and implement safety solutions. The Transportation Pooled Fund (TPF) Program provides an opportunity to collaborate with stakeholders around the world to help solve transportation problems like safety. By pooling funds and expertise, government agencies can develop innovative solutions at a lower cost.
The ELSCSI study will remain important for years to come as it continues to conduct research on cutting-edge technologies that improve safety. The proven research from this study allows transportation partners to invest in low-cost safety countermeasures that reduce fatalities and injuries around the world. Many of the proven safety countermeasures have now become institutionalized practices among partner agencies.
