Welcome
Whether you are a traffic safety professional or a private citizen contributing to the traffic safety effort, it is our goal to help you in every way that we can.  SafeHomeAlabama.gov was designed to be the first state-level traffic safety site to be inclusive of all efforts in the state.  We are not associated with any single state agency. 

We depend on volunteers, not only from the state traffic safety agencies, but from all governmental and private service groups within the state that care to contribute information on their traffic safety activities. This site is to augment and highlight other traffic safety web sites in the state; we encourage all participants to develop and reference their own sites, and to use SafeHomeAlabama.gov to obtain greater access from those interested in your particular aspect of traffic safety.

To use the site, consider the tabs across the top of this screen.  For general information and two indexes, click the "Start Here" tab.  If one of the tabs fits your interests, roll over its dropdown to consider the pages within it.  Obtain more information on most of the tabs and drop downs by rolling over them.  Each of these pages is maintained by experts within that specialty.

We appreciate your concern for traffic safety, and we invite you to join in helping us to make Alabama's highways the safest in the country.
 

US Traffic Fatalities Hit

Lowest Level Since 1949

Click the above title for the MSNBC article.  Bob Levitt captures many of the factors that account for the beginning of our successful march Toward Zero Deaths (TZD).  It is important to note that there were only a small fraction of the cars on the road in 1949 than there are now, each of which drove considerably less on average; so the rate is much lower, further demonstrating the effectiveness of the countermeasures that he mentions.  See the following links for more information on items mentioned in the article:
