As traffic safety partners across Montana prepare to meet this month, roadway fatalities continue to be a primary concern. In 2023, 208 people died on Montana roads, and Vision Zero – zero deaths and zero serious injuries on Montana roadways – remains the goal. Statewide crash trends will be one agenda item of discussion at the (https:// mdt.mt. gov/visionzero /plans/ chsp.shtml) Executive Leadership Team (ELT) virtual meeting scheduled for Thursday, July 25, from 1 to 3 p.m.

“Despite challenges, leaders across the state continue to work together with a common goal of Vision Zero,” said Larry Flynn, Deputy Director of the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT). “Zero is the only acceptable number of lives lost on Montana’s roadways, and MDT looks forward to continued collaboration and coordination with our partners statewide to work towards that goal.”

The agenda for the meeting includes:

– Public Comment

– Comprehensive Highway Safety Plan Overview

– Statewide Impaired Driving Work Plan Approval
