Colorado recorded the highest level of car-related fatalities since 1981 last year, and the state’s transportation department is introducing a new program aimed at lowering traffic deaths.

Colorado State Patrol Chief Matthew Packard said at a Monday news conference that there was a 7% increase in impaired driving fatalities from 2021 to 2022, and that crashes involving cannabis increased 51%.

Also at the Monday news conference, CDOT Deputy Chief Engineer Keith Stefanik introduced the agency’s new Advancing Transportation Safety Program, aimed at reducing traffic fatalities. He broke the program down into four separate components. The second is safe drivers, “which addresses all the reckless behaviors that lead to crashes,” Stefanik said, including speeding, aggressive driving and seatbelt wearing.

Blame the teens. And was it not early 80's talking about raising the age of driving to 21. Blame the teens.

Maybe because Colorado leadership allowed street racing and driving under the influence to run unchecked for 2 years straight. Fund and support our law enforcement!

If historic numbers of deaths due to gun violence isn't enough to make people change, why would a historic number of traffic deaths be any different?

Sorry, I was distracted by my phone. Were you saying something?

What the hell happened in 1981?

COBAN PORTER should Not be out on Bail...He killed a lady and got $20,000 bond...ONLY in Denver...If he was white the bail would be Denied...F'n A...What a Denver Dump it is...

Meanwhile our city council is trying to increase traffic deaths by making jaywalking legal? How pedestrians would they like to see die? CWjamietorres OrtegaAtLarge

745 people dead. I say many times: would you accept this if this was the airline industry, in colorado alone?

36% of traffic fatalities involved people who were not in a vehicle, such as pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. That percentage is the highest on record since 1975
