The USDOT established
the Safe Communities Service Center to serve as an information and
technical assistance marketplace to advance Safe Communities
nationwide. The Center provides one-stop shopping for local
community needs for materials and resources related to building and
strengthening Safe Communities. |
With thousands of
people killed and millions more injured nationwide in traffic
crashes every year, the Safe Communities approach has been proven to
assist communities in reducing the all too frequent occurrence and
unwarranted, wasteful costs of transportation related
injuries. |

Safe Communities: 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. |

NHTSA provides technical assistance and some
logistic support to states that wish to conduct independent,
objective assessments of elements of their highway safety programs,
to identify program strengths and weaknesses and plan effectively
for program improvement. |

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. |
