    To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 3518) to declare the month of May 2001, as "South Carolina Highway Safety, etc., respectfully

    Has polled the Concurrent Resolution out majority favorable.

TO DECLARE THE MONTH OF MAY 2001, AS "SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY SAFETY MONTH".

Whereas, in South Carolina, during the last ten years, over five hundred thousand injuries have been reported in highway crashes; and

Whereas, an average of nearly three people a day die in wrecks on highways in South Carolina; and

Whereas, the economic cost to South Carolina due to highway crashes during the last ten years has exceeded seventeen billion dollars; and

Whereas, safe highways are essential to the continued well-being of the citizens of South Carolina and to the future growth and development of the State; and

Whereas, raising public awareness about highway safety can reduce the number of highway injuries and fatalities and the amount of dollars and property lost in South Carolina. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly, by this resolution, declare the month of May 2001, as "South Carolina Highway Safety Month" throughout the State, encourage public and private agencies, organizations, and individuals to join together to raise public awareness regarding the importance of highway safety, and encourage all South Carolinians to work together to ensure the safety of our citizens on South Carolina's highways.
