Delaware’s SHSP has served as the state’s comprehensive transportation safety plan since the first plan was adopted in 2006. Delaware’s 2021-2025 SHSP, adopted in December of 2020, builds upon the successes and lessons learned of previous Plans and will serve as the state’s SHSP from 2021 through 2025. 2021-2025 SHSP Emphasis Area Statistics OVERALL OBJECTIVE The Delaware Strategic Highway Safety Plan: Toward Zero Deaths aims to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries on Delaware’s roadways through a multi-agency approach that utilizes education, enforcement, engineering and emergency medical services strategies. 2021-2025 GOAL The goal of the Delaware Strategic Highway Safety Plan: Toward Zero Deaths is to achieve a reduction of at least 3 fatalities and 15 serious injuries annually and continue to reduce the total number of fatalities and serious injuries to achieve at least a 50 percent reduction by 2035.
