Target Zero Fatalities & Serious Injuries
To implement the Strategic Highway Safety Plan and achieve our goal of a fatality free transportation system for all roadway travelers, Transportation Safety Engineering is the discipline that conducts location specific and systemic safety analysis to identify safety improvement needs and designs countermeasures to reduce the frequency and severity of crashes. Collaboration with education, enforcement, and emergency services increases the effectiveness of our engineering efforts. In Florida, Transportation Safety Engineering is conducted at statewide and regional district levels.
