Description: Every year there are hundreds of thousands of dangerous driving violations in the District. As part of the Mayor’s Vision Zero initiative to eliminate traffic-related deaths, we are developing a statistical model to identify drivers who are at a high risk of being involved in a serious crash in the District. We will then design and evaluate whether tailored messages to these drivers can curb red-light and speeding violations with the goal of decreasing their involvement in serious crashes. These findings may inform future policies and programs to reduce serious crashes in the District.
