WEBINAR: November 12, 2026, 8:00AM - 9:15AM PT

Toward Zero Deaths
Minnesota's Toward Zero Deaths (TZD) initiative is the state’s cornerstone traffic safety program that employs an interdisciplinary approach to reducing traffic crashes, injuries, and deaths on Minnesota roads.
TZD is a collaborative effort involving multiple agencies and stakeholders, including the Minnesota Department of Public Safety, MnDOT, and FHWA, that focuses on creating a culture where traffic fatalities and serious injuries are no longer acceptable.
