1997 - 2000 STRATEGIC BUSINESS PLAN

The State of California has experienced significant improvement in traffic safety since inception of the California Traffic Safety Program in 1967. Despite a vast increase in population, up 65%, registered vehicles, up 111%, and vehicle miles of travel, up 178%, the mileage death rate (MDR, number of persons killed per 100 million motor vehicle miles of travel) has decreased by 71% from 4.9 in 1967 to 1.4 in 1996. Though much success has been achieved, traffic fatalities, injuries and property damage continue to exact an enormous cost on society. Through the process of developing a Strategic Business Plan, the Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) clarifies its vision and formulates action plans for a future in which California's roadways become the safest in the nation. OTS's goal is to achieve a California MDR of 1.0 by the year 2000. The Plan's table of contents includes the following: Mission Statement and Principles; Vision; Description; Program Goal and Administration; Public Affairs; Legislative Affairs; Alcohol and Other Drugs; Police Traffic Services and Speed Control; Occupant Protection; Traffic Records; Emergency Medical Services; Traffic Engineering; Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety; Resource Assumptions; and Financial and Employment Information.
