Toward Zero Deaths



Safety Steve: Curve Warning Signs from Lane County Government on Vimeo.



Transportation safety is a significant public health issue and priority in Lane County.
In 2017, Lane County joined the National Strategy on Highway Safety known as Toward Zero Deaths and adopted a countywide Transportation Safety Action Plan to proactively respond to fatal and severe-injury collisions. Most fatal collisions are roadway departures involving excessive speed; as such, most of the fatal collisions are preventable. Transportation safety is a shared responsibility.
