Caltrans, the California Highway Patrol, and California State Association of
Counties Thursday announced a bold set of 152 actions designed to reduce
serious injuries and fatalities 10 percent on California’s roadways by
2010. Actions were created with goals geared toward reducing head-on collisions
and run-off-the-road crashes, improving safety at intersections and
interchanges, and enhancing safety for pedestrians and bicycles. Local Caltrans representatives and
California Highway Patrol members were among 300 safety stakeholders from 80
different organizations attending yesterday’s SHSP safety summit in
Anaheim. In addition to the four lead agencies, stakeholders from cities,
counties, state agencies, private sector businesses, and grass-roots
organizations attended. Another summit
will be held in Sacramento on May 7, 2008.
