TRAFFIC SAFETY ROUNDUP - Special Issue
Volume 1, Issue 1 - March 14, 2016

 
Great Work Happening!
Louisiana is paving the way in traffic safety with Destination Zero Deaths, a multidisciplinary initiative to reduce motor vehicle-related fatalities and serious injuries. Visit www.destinationzerodeaths.com  for more information.
WHAT'S LATEST
Louisiana's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) and its mission to reach Destination Zero Deaths (DZD) will be one of the highlights in a poster session at this year's Lifesavers Conference on April 3-5, 2016 in Long Beach, CA.

Louisiana's regional safety coalition coordinators will share how the regional 4E approach (engineering, education, enforcement, EMS) has contributed to the drop of traffic-related fatalities for this past decade by 21.6% (from 966 in 2006 to 737 in 2014). This truly is a success story we are proud to share with stakeholders across the nation. 

 
This effort is spearheaded by the SHSP Communications Coordinating Council in partnership with LA Safety Center and LADOTD.
CONGRATULATIONS!

We extend our warmest congratulations to Bridget Gardner for winning the prestigious Florence Nightingale Award for Outstanding Community Achievement by a Registered Nurse. The award was hosted by LA State Nurses Foundation. Ms. Gardner is the statewide SHSP team leader for young drivers emphasis area.  

US Congressman Charles Boustany presented the award at the 15th Annual Nightingale Awards held recently.
MAKE AN IMPACT
Our overall goal is zero deaths on Louisiana's roadways. If you are up for helping us reach this, connect with the SHSP Manager at DOTD and learn how your agency can become a major statewide stakeholder.
