Volpe Journal 2005 cover.

Great strides have been made in transportation safety over the last 50 years, but statistics show that in some areas progress has leveled off in some areas since the mid-1990s. Realizing that many of the obvious safety advances have been made, researchers are thinking in new and innovative ways to develop strategies for sustaining safety improvements. This issue of the Volpe Journal provides a framework for transportation safety research and presents examples of the Volpe Center's work within this framework. More importantly, the Journal proposes future directions for transportation safety and asks questions that will help determine the best approaches to increasingly complicated transportation problems.
