摘要：	Since reaching a near term high in 2005, there has been an unprecedented decline in highway traffic fatalities. In FY 2009, vehicle miles traveled (VMT) increased slightly by 0.2 percent over 2008, which is markedly different from the steep declines in fatalities (9.7%). However, given that over 30,000 people still died in roadway crashes in 2009, much work remains to be done to improve the safety of our Nations roadways. In order for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to effectively continue its mission of saving lives, preventing injuries, and reducing economic costs due to road traffic crashes, the agency is requesting $860 million in FY 2012. This funding will allow NHTSA to conduct rulemaking, enforcement, and vehicle research, as well as to develop and implement data-driven, workable, and self-sustaining highway safety programs that reduce highway injuries and fatalities. NHTSA provides grants to States and local communities, and supports research, demonstration projects, and countermeasure programs designed to prevent motor vehicle crashes and reduce their associated economic costs.
