摘要: The 'DOT Strategic Plan 2003-2008' document states the Department of Transportation's safety strategic objective as 'Enhance public health and safety by working towards the elimination of transportation-related deaths and injuries.' As such, the Secretary has established a goal to reduce the highway fatality rate to not more than 1.0 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled by 2008. This is a 41%reduction from a 1996 baseline of 1.7 per 100 million vehicle miles traveled. Consistent with the Departmental goal, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has set its goal of reducing the large truck fatality rate by 41%from 1996 to 2008. In support of this effort, FMCSA has established specific objectives focusing on individual areas of improvement as outlined in the '2010 Strategy: Saving Lives through Safety, Innovation and Performance' document. These objectives, if met, will collectively lead toward FMCSA reaching its goal of 41%reduction in truck fatal crash rate and support the Department's overall goal of a 41%reduction in the highway fatality rate. This report documents the progress of FMCSA toward meeting its specific safety objectives. Work on the selection of metrics for tracking FMCSA progress towards the safety objectives was initiated by a series of studies that tested the utility of various SafeStat measures and other industry metrics. The metrics selected as the most appropriate depiction of the achievement of the safety objectives were then calculated based on semiannual SafeStat runs between March 2000 and March 2002. A trend analysis was conducted to document progress over time. This report will be updated semiannually with more recent results from succeeding SafeStat runs.
