Since 1985, Safer New Mexico Now ( Safer) has worked in cooperation with the New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Traffic Safety Bureau (TSB) and state law enforcement agencies to develop, coordinate, implement, and monitor state efforts to promote traffic safety. As a private, nonprofit organization, Safer effectively coordinates innovative traffic safety programs and partnerships that promote the combined use of law enforcement, marketing campaigns, media, and education. Safer advocates for increased motor vehicle occupant protection and decreased traffic-related death and injury.
