## Resource

Thurston County is launching a bold new plan to slash traffic deaths and serious injuries, aligning with Washington’s Target Zero goal to eliminate fatalities. Led by the Thurston Regional Planning Council, the initiative seeks public input via survey to shape safety strategies targeting impaired driving (45% of crashes), distracted driving (32%), speeding (23%), and lane departures (66%). Non-motorist fatalities are also rising—142 in five years. The plan will integrate local efforts from Olympia, Lacey, and Thurston County, with a draft due late 2026 and final version in spring 2027.
