This report reflects the accomplishments of the last fiscal year as we work with our partners to reduce the incidence of motor vehicle crashes on Delaware roadways. The mission of the Office of Highway Safety is to conduct sound data analysis of these crashes and develop counter-measures based on the data to reduce fatal and personal injury crashes. Delaware continues to lose far too many motorists each year in preventable crashes and OHS strives to implement proven strategies to reduce the number of Delawareans impacted by tragic crashes. In FY 2012, the Office of Highway Safety and its partners continued the implementation of a number of very successful programs and implemented new strategies as crash data revealed additional emphasis areas. Some of the more notable accomplishments were our ongoing participation in the regional DUI checkpoint campaign, Checkpoint Strikeforce, receiving a $900,000 grant to implement an education and enforcement campaign to reduce distracted driving, and expansion of our corporate program to reach even more Delawareans.
