The 2026-2030 plan aims to reduce deaths and serious injuries with a long-term goal of eliminating traffic deaths by 2050.
The Nevada Department of Transportation has issued its 2026-2030 Strategic Highway Safety Plan, targeting a 35 percent reduction in fatal and serious injury crashes by 2035 and a goal of zero fatalities by 2050.
As Rachel Zalucki explains in an article for Fox 5 Vegas, “Progress will be tracked through five federally required Safety Performance Measures reported annually to the Federal Highway Administration:” number of fatalities, number of serious injuries, fatality rate, serious injury rate, and number of non-motorized fatalities and serious injuries.
The department plans to deploy more messaging signs to educate drivers about the risks of speeding, among other efforts. “The plan unites transportation agencies, law enforcement, public health officials, emergency responders, and community partners in a coordinated effort to implement engineering improvements, strengthen enforcement, expand education campaigns, and improve emergency response.”
