SAFETY

Keeping you safe on our roadways is our top priority. We know that a significant proportion of traffic crashes involves large trucks. Between 1998 and 2002, 24 percent of fatal crashes on I-35 involved a truck. These crashes killed 172 people.

Hazardous material transport is also an important safety consideration. Millions of people in Texas are vulnerable because the existing transportation system moves hazardous material through populous areas. We need to provide transportation alternatives to businesses that transport these hazardous materials.

TTC will help

The TTC will move people and goods SAFER by:

• providing separate lanes for cars and large trucks
• re-routing the movement of hazardous materials away from highly populated areas
• using highway designs that reduce the number of possible crash locations such as intersections and off-ramps
