The main objective of this research was to provide guidance to the Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT) in establishing strategies to improve the traffic safety culture in Kansas. This was done by analyzing crash data with respect to the seven coalition districts in Kansas. A detailed literature review along with a survey of existing conditions in 27 states was carried out. Web research was carried out to determine existing safety culture programs both in the United States and internationally. The applicability of the documented safety culture programs is determined based on the crash analysis of the coalition districts. The summary of the crash and traffic safety culture programs, shown in Appendix C of the final report, was presented at the coalition meetings in order to positively crash and traffic the state’s traffic safety culture by making sure the citizens of Kansas are thinking about safety proactively rather than reactively.
