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. |

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. |
