National Highway Traffic Safety Administrations mission is to save lives, prevent injuries, and reduce economic costs due to road traffic crashes. Driver distraction is a significant and difficult safety problem to address. This program lays out NHTSAs efforts to address it. Planned projects for 2010 and beyond are described, with some building on a significant number of research projects conducted in prior years. This plan is intended to communicate NHTSAs priorities to the public with regard to driver distraction safety challenges, namely our long-term goal of eliminating crashes that are attributable to distraction. Among them are programs and projects involving improving our understanding of the problem, reducing workloads from driver interfaces, keeping distracted drivers safe, and recognizing the risks and consequences of distracted driving.
