About the OTS
The OTS takes a leadership role in efforts to make California roadways safe for everyone using the transportation system. Through thoughtful, forward-thinking, and data-driven selection of grants to local and state agencies, the OTS strives to reach our goal where everyone will go safely on California roads. Through grant funding made available to California by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the OTS funds more than $100 million dollars annually in innovative, evidence-based education and enforcement programs and technologies designed to improve road safety. The OTS evaluates all potential programs to make sure California addresses current and future traffic safety needs. Our success depends on strong partnerships. We work with approximately 300 state and local agencies to make the most effective use of federal grant program funds. Additionally, we coordinate with traffic safety partners to track successful programs, encourage collaboration, develop new countermeasures, and explore emerging trends. In addition to the many programs funded through these grants, the OTS team is committed to sharing the message of traffic safety. We accomplish this through public awareness campaigns that educate the public on safe driving habits.

History
By 1966, motor vehicle traffic crashes nationally claimed nearly 51,000 lives a year, or 26 deaths for every 100,000 Americans. Recognizing the need to reduce the carnage on the nation’s roads, Congress passed the National Highway Safety Act, which provides for federal traffic safety funds to states.
In 1967, the California Traffic Safety Program (TSP) was enacted by the Legislature to provide authority for the State to implement the requirements of the national legislation. Subsequently, the Governor delegated authority to administer the TSP to the Secretary of the Business, Transportation and Housing (BT&H) Agency.

Emergency Medical Services 

Providing timely care to crash victims is critical to reducing deaths and the severity of injuries. When a person is injured in a crash, they rely on first responders to quickly locate them, stabilize their injury, and transport them for care. Recent studies show that an effective emergency trauma care system can improve survival from serious injuries by as much as 25% and county-level coordinated systems of trauma care can reduce crash fatalities rates as much as 50%. The Safe System approach accepts that crashes will happen, but by focusing attention on reducing the severity of injuries when a crash occurs, such as post-crash care, we can better address every aspect of crash risks by being proactive and implementing multiple layers of protection. Grant programs for emergency medical services (EMS) include upgrading extrication equipment that allows emergency responders to quickly access occupants trapped in vehicles. Many emergency response agencies have outdated equipment that needs replacement, affecting their ability to reach victims quickly and increase their survivability.
EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES PROGRAM AREA GOALS

Decrease the average extrication time, from the time of arrival at the crash site to transport.

What is a Safe System Approach?

The Office of Traffic Safety embraces a Safe System approach, which focuses on both human mistakes and human vulnerability, and provides a framework to design a system to protect everyone. Safe roads, safe speeds, safe vehicles, safe road users and post-crash care all reinforce multiple layers of protection to protect everyone.
A Safe System approach incorporates the following principles:

Deaths and serious injuries are unacceptable – The Safe System approach prioritizes the elimination of crashes that result in death and serious injury. Vehicles are designed with systems and features that help to prevent crashes and minimize their impact when they do happen.
Humans make mistakes – People will inevitably make mistakes and decisions that may lead to crashes, but road design should accommodate mistakes to make crashes less severe or deadly when they do happen. Examples of safe roads include physically separating people traveling at different speeds, dedicated times for people to move through a space, and alerting people to hazards and other road users.
 Humans are vulnerable – Human bodies have physical limits for tolerating crash forces. Reduce speeds helps reduce the severity of injury and risk of death.
