A Goal We Can All Live With
The loss of just one life is too many. This is the philosophy of Zero Fatalities. It's a goal we can all live with. It's the ONLY goal we can all live with. This portal is meant to be a one-stop information resource and collaboration of numerous Utah safety campaigns targeting the prevention of numerous types of traffic injuries and fatalities.
2010 Utah Traffic
Fatalities to date:
145
Drowsy Driving
According to a Utah Department of Public Safety poll, 40% of adult drivers in Utah - about 642,000 people - say they have fallen asleep or nodded off for even a moment, while driving.
Distracted Driving
Distracted driving may be the least recognized public health and safety crisis of the 21st century." Ray LaHood, U.S. Secretary of Transportation.
Impaired Driving
Alcohol is not the only thing that can impair your driving. Illegal drugs, prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, and lack of sleep can impair your ability to drive safely.
Aggressive Driving
Aggressive driving means operating a vehicle in a way that endangers or is likely to endanger people or property. Most behaviors associated with aggressive driving are illegal.
Not Buckling Up
Failing to buckle up contributes to more fatalities than any other traffic-safety-related behavior.
The 100 Deadliest Days of the Year
Zero Fatalities in partnership with UHP and UDOT held a news conference about the 100 deadliest days of the year. Even though fatalities are 20 percent lower than they were at this point last year, there has been almost a death a day on our roads in June and July. Now is the time to drive safely - don't drive drowsy, distracted, impaired, aggressive or unbuckled.
