State of Missouri Highway Safety Plan and Performance Plan and Section 405 Grant Program, 2015.

摘要

Not since 1950 has Missouri seen so few people killed in highway crashes. For the fifth year in a row, Missouri has reduced its highway fatalities. In 2013, 757 people were killed in traffic crashes – reducing by 500 since 2005. Overall, since 2005, traffic deaths decreased 40 percent, due to the combined efforts of highway safety advocates in the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety. The coalition credits a combination of law enforcement, educational efforts, emergency medical services and engineering enhancements as the successful formula for saving lives. The Missouri Department of Transportation is committed to reducing the number of injuries and deaths on Missouri roadways.
