LANSING, MI (WHTC-AM/FM, Dec. 8, 2025) – The ongoing effort to work “toward zero deaths” on Michigan roadways was spotlighted last week by the Governor’s Traffic Safety Advisory Commission.
The group, which includes leaders from the Michigan State Police and the state Office of Highway Safety Planning, unveiled the “SAFER by 2030” program – statewide action to reduce fatalities encountered on our roadways by 30 percent by 2030. It’s aimed to reduce the number of crashes that lead to deaths from nearly 289 thousand collisions and almost 11 hundred fatalities registered last year.
While vehicles and roads are being designed and upgraded with safety in mind, the biggest hurdle to achieving the desired goal of 30 percent reduction in five years may be the motorists themselves, according to Allegan County Sheriff Frank Baker.
