PERFECTING
THE PROCESS
TxDOT takes steps to keep improving processes,
performance and delivery across the state.
VOLUME 42 | ISSUE 3 | MAY/JUNE 2017
JAMES BASS
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
Last year in Texas, 3,775 people lost
their lives on Texas roads. The year
before, 3,578 people didn’t make it
home after a traffic crash. I mention
the specific numbers as each life is
precious and we should not allow
ourselves to get numb to the statistics
and what they truly represent.
The numbers would be disheartening
enough, if they were isolated years,
but they aren’t. Texas hasn’t had
a deathless day on our roadways for
nearly 17 years.
We know the usual culprits of
traffic crashes: distracted driving,
speeding and driving under the
influence, to name a few.
We know how to defeat them.
We expend time and money
