The Nevada Department of Transportation and Department of Public Safety along with numerous other
Safety Partners working together have developed the Nevada Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) in
order to address the frequency, rate and primary factors contributing to fatal and severe injury
crashes in Nevada. The plan is intended to serve as the guide for accomplishing the reduction of the
statewide fatality rate by 33%, from a rate of approximately 1.91 fatalities per 100 million miles of
travel in 2003 to a rate of 1.27 fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles of travel by 2008.
The plan identifies Critical Emphasis Areas that represent the greatest opportunity for successfully reducing the number of severe crashes. The plan also identifies 20 Critical Strategies addressing the areas of Enforcement, Education and Emergency Service in addition to the more traditional Engineering improvements.
