Destination Safe Committee

Traffic congestion on freeway

Destination Safe is a coalition governed by a committee with a membership that includes local, regional, state and federal representatives from transportation, emergency response, law enforcement, public health and nonprofit groups dedicated to transportation safety. Destination Safe has set a goal of achieving an average of 180 or fewer roadway fatalities annually. To achieve that goal, the work of the safety partners is performed through various committees and subcommittees.
