By continually examining the results of these programs, FMCSA can ensure that they are being executed effectively and are producing the desired safety benefits. Results for individual States can be examined and compared to provide guidance on how to allocate safety resources. The total national results show the scale of the Roadside Inspection and Traffic Enforcement programs and the magnitude of their effects on highway safety. In 2013, these programs saved an estimated 448 lives and prevented 8,450 injuries by averting 13,919 crashes. Since 2001, these programs are estimated to have saved more than 7,500 lives.84
