The state has a goal of zero motor vehicle fatalities and serious injuries, a goal that people can help North Dakota accomplish by taking personal responsibility when getting behind the wheel. This means always wearing a seat belt, using appropriate child passenger safety seats, driving without distractions, driving sober or finding someone else to drive, and obeying the speed limit. This enforcement campaign is part of a collaborative effort to eliminate vehicle deaths in North Dakota. Learn more about safety initiatives at VisionZero.ND.gov.
