The Nation has seen a continuous and steady decline in highway traffic fatalities. In 2010, overall traffic fatalities reached the lowest level since 1949. This translates to a 2.9 percent decrease in fatalities from 2009 to 2010. However, given that 32,885 people still died in roadway crashes in 2010, much work remains to be done to improve highway safety on 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 $981 million in FY 2013. Our FY 2013 budget request 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. The hard work and dedication of NHTSAs staff and the programs they administer directly translate to the prevention of senseless motor vehicle crashes, and lives saved on our Nations roadways.
