     Message From the Director

I am pleased to present the 2020 – 2023 Strategic Management Plan for the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS).
California’s OTS team is comprised of passionate and service-oriented individuals who, through their raw tenacity and innovative spirit, are determined to realize our vision of a California where every person, regardless of their mode of travel, will Go Safely. With an estimated 3,600 deaths and 13,000 serious injuries occurring annually from traffic crashes – and with 94 percent of them caused by human error – our task is great.
As California assumes a leadership role in the rapidly-evolving mobility space, OTS will continue to explore and fund countermeasures that employ cutting edge technologies and innovative practices to address the State’s toughest safety challenges for all road users.
Achieving our vision only happens through meaningful collaboration with stakeholders at every level. Through fostering partnerships, providing reliable data, improving our business processes, and developing our team to be effective leaders in road safety, OTS is well-positioned for the work that lies ahead
This Strategic Management Plan reflects our commitment to road safety and serves as a roadmap and vital tool to guide our actions over the next four years to bring California closer to its goal of zero traffic-related deaths.
2020-2023 Strategic Management Plan 
Barbara L. RooneyDirectorCalifornia Office of Traffic Safety

Public Awareness and Education 

The OTS Public Relations, Advertising, and Marketing program develops statewide public awareness campaigns, establishes strategic partnerships with public and private stakeholders, and conducts outreach and engagement activities with community-based organizations to encourage safe traveling behaviors.
The monthly and year-round education campaigns encompass the  “Go Safely, California” mantra, our rallying cry to make traveling to and from places safely a top priority. Statewide media campaign efforts coincide with national campaigns focused on impaired driving, distracted driving, speeding, and pedestrian safety. The program highlights a series of traffic safety messages on TV, streaming services, outdoor billboards, radio, and social media for each campaign, with the goal of changing behaviors. Outreach efforts specifically target youth, teens, young adults and communities identified as underserved who are disproportionately impacted by traffic safety issues.
PUBLIC AWARENESS AND EDUCATION PROGRAM AREA GOALS

 The “Go Safely” Brand: Increase overall public recognition of “Go Safely California” brand that defines the OTS as the voice of traffic safety, a reputable and trusted source for traffic safety information, and builds positive perceptions and support for the OTS mission of saving lives.

Roadway Safety and Traffic Records 

High quality traffic records data is essential for identifying traffic safety problems and developing strategies and programs to prevent fatalities and injuries on California roadways. At the core of the state’s Traffic Records System (TRS) is information from the six core data systems, comprised of crash, driver, vehicle, roadway, citation and adjudication, and injury surveillance data.  The goal is to have timely, accurate, complete, uniform, integrated, and accessible data in each of the six components of the California TRS. The OTS remains committed to this goal through providing grant funding for the traffic records data quality improvement efforts, and through leadership role and collaboration with other state and local departments and agencies in the Traffic Records Coordinating Committee (TRCC). The OTS grants are used to purchase hardware and software to establish or improve traffic records data reporting, collection, and management. In addition, the grants are used to advance the capability to analyze trends in crash occurrences, circumstances, and outcomes.
ROADWAY SAFETY AND TRAFFIC RECORDS PROGRAM AREA GOALS

Reduce the number of persons killed in traffic crashes.
Reduce the number of persons injured in traffic crashes.
Increase the number of law enforcement agencies that submit crash reports electronically to SWITRS.
