The First Six Months

This guide is designed for concerned individuals and community groups who are committed to reducing the motor vehicle injury problem in their community. We have learned a great deal from traffic safety advocates and public health officials about reducing motor vehicle injury in the last twenty years. This guide is intended to serve to help get the process started and assist you in organizing the effort to prevent and reduce injuries in your community.

 

Best Practices for a Safe Community

With the vision for the future of every community in America becoming a Safe Community, this guide lists ideas, activities and programs in each major area of traffic safety for use by local injury prevention coalitions.
