The Share the Road Safely Coalition was established as a public-private partnership of organizations sharing a common goal: to reduce the number of fatalities, injuries, and property damage resulting from crashes involving commercial motor vehicles and other highway users. The Coalition consists of Federal, State and Local governments, private motor carriers, insurance companies, law enforcement agencies, and highway safety organizations. The Coalition works collaboratively together to improve driver behavior by promoting share the road messages. Educational messages are effectively and efficiently delivered, while minimizing duplication of efforts. Coalition members help develop the policy and goals for the FMCSA Share the Road Safely Program and are recognized as committed to making their communities and highways safer for everyone.
Share the Road Safely Coalition members have agreed to work together to accomplish the following tasks:
- Establish a clearinghouse to exchange information and ideas on how to educate the public about driving safely in and around large trucks and buses.
- Focus on educating all road users about No-Zones or blind spots around large trucks and buses
- Incorporate share the road information in all State drivers' manuals
- Provide the public with consistent and credible messages about sharing the road safely with commercial motor vehicles.
- Encourage other organizations to participate in share the road activities.
