The Department of Transportation over the past year has undertaken a variety of actions related to guidance and rulemakings that officials say will lay the groundwork for reducing the number of fatal crashes on U.S. roadways.
The actions, taken in the first year of the agency’s five-year National Roadway Safety Strategy, ranged from issuing a final rule on rear impact guards for truck trailers and a proposed rule for speed limiters on large trucks to funding for safer road designs and money for campaigns aimed at reducing speeding.
