Summarize purpose of the contract, including why it was necessary: In 2001, the North Star Safety Workshop brought together transportation safety stakeholders representing local, regional, state, national and international organizations and agencies to share information and to identify new approaches to reducing the number of fatalities and life changing injuries on Minnesota’s roads. The Minnesota Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) Program developed out of the ideas and momentum created by the North Star workshop.

The purpose of this contract was to provide a venue to share the progress that has been made since 2001, to share best practices in the areas of engineering, enforcement, education and emergency services, and to chart the course for a future with fewer traffic fatalities and life changing injuries.

The objective of the conference is to provide a forum for sharing information on best practices in engineering, enforcement, education and emergency medical/health services, and for identifying new approaches to reducing the number of traffic fatalities and life changing injuries on Minnesota Roads.

This contract was necessary to advance the objectives of the Toward Zero Deaths initiative and continue the efforts of MnDOT and Public Safety to create a safe highway infrastructure.
