An Integrated Systems Approach is Needed to Address the Complexity of the Problem

The systems approach looks at:

- the roadway- the vehicles – the road users

And must address:– Preventing a crash before it occurs– Minimizing injuries – Treatment for injured victims

And should incorporate:– Data systems and research– Infrastructure and environment– Organizations involved– Trauma care– Political, environmental, and

social context

leverage pooled resources through successful collaboration across

Government (justice, transportation,

healthcare, public health, education, urban planning, economic development, finance)

Private sector Civil society (advocacy groups, NGOs,

academia)
