The Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) and the Maryland State Highway Administrations (SHA) Highway Safety Office (MHSO) are pleased to present this FFY 2012 Highway Safety Plan (Benchmark Report). MDOT and MHSO continue to place traffic safety as the first and foremost concern in the State of Maryland. Beginning with the blueprint that is Maryland's Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), this Benchmark Report will outline how elected officials, heads of agencies and partners in both the public and private sectors will carry out efforts to save lives and prevent injuries on Maryland's roads by reducing the number and severity of motor vehicle crashes through the administration of a comprehensive and effective network of traffic safety programs. While past successes have been encouraging, the ultimate goal remains for Maryland to experience zero fatalities from traffic-related incidents. Multiple organizations comprise a tightly-knit core for spreading the traffic safety message and emphasizing the seriousness of traffic crashes. Building and continuing partnerships is vital to the long-term reduction in crashes and the MHSO remains committed in FFY 2012 to finding pro-active partners in traffic safety. Fatalities continued a three-year decline in 2010, resulting in 496 fatalities. Additionally, alcohol-related fatalities, as reported through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations (NHTSA) Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), have dropped significantly from 241 in 2006 to 177 in 2010.
