Advancing Transportation Safety Program
The Advancing Transportation Safety Program is dedicated to leading statewide transportation safety efforts and building partnerships in Colorado to prevent deaths and serious injuries on our roadways. Its mission is to create a unified approach to advancing transportation safety through partnership building, data management, education, engineering, and policy. The Program is comprised of safety experts that have dedicated their work to improving conditions on our roadways and saving lives.
The Program is organized into three tiers: The Executive Committee, Steering Committee, and Action Teams.
Executive Committee: Provides program oversight, allocates resources, oversees statewide performance, and directs major decision-making. This committee includes executive directors from signatory agencies (CDOT, CDPHE, CDOR, CSP, FHWA, and NHTSA) and will meet semi-annually.
Steering Committee: Responsible for developing and administering a work plan, managing Action Teams, and tracking progress. This Committee is comprised of safety SMEs and division-level directors of signatory agencies, and leaders in relevant advocacy organizations. The Committee will meet monthly or quarterly and report to the Executive Committee.
Action Teams: These are the implementers. Each Team is assigned a different broad topic area that tackles a grouping of strategies from the STSP. Experts in traffic safety are invited to participate in Action Teams that fit their interests and help implement STSP strategies. Action Teams will meet regularly and report to the Steering Committee.
