The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) has posted a new video to its YouTube channel on www.youtube.com/michigandot. The three-minute video reinforces MDOT’s goal of zero highway deaths by interviewing Michigan residents.
MDOT, and members of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), is focused on a “Toward Zero Deaths” highway safety strategy.
State Transportation Director Kirk T. Steudle, who serves as the 2012 AASHTO president, said that MDOT, along with other state departments of transportation, is using engineering, behavioral and enforcement initiatives to save lives by reducing highway fatalities.
“State DOTs are working aggressively to dramatically reduce the death toll on U.S. roads over the next two decades. While zero deaths might seem an impossible standard, it is our goal,” Steudle said. “Even one death is too many.”
More information about MDOT’s highway traffic safety initiatives is available on the MDOT Web site at www.michigan.gov/highwaysafety.
