摘要：	The mission of the CDOT Office of Transportation Safety and the Safety and Traffic Engineering Branch is to 'reduce the incidence and severity of motor vehicle crashes and the associated human and economic loss.' The traffic safety community measures and tracks fatalities by the number of traffic fatalities that occur per 100 million vehicle miles traveled(VMT). Although every traffic fatality is a tragedy. Colorado has been successful at reducing its traffic fatality rate in recent years. As of 2007, Colorado had the 13th-lowest traffic fatality rate among all states, a significant improvement from its 29th ranking in 2000. In Colorado, the rate of fatal traffic accidents has declined from 1.63 fatalities per 100 million VMT in Calendar Year 2000 to 1.14 in 2007, a 30% reduction. During that same time period, the national traffic fatality rate fell from 1.53 tyo 1.36 fatalities per 100 million VMT, an 11% decline. Much of this success is due to the passage of important traffic safety legislation, particularly those statutes which address occupant protection, impaired driving, young drivers, and motorcycle safety. Grass roots organizations such as Mothers Against Drunk Driving(MADD) have also had a significant impact. Public information programs have served to raise the awareness of the public to the risks of driving, their responsibilities as drivers, and the dangers of not using appropriate restraint devices.
