TO DECLARE THE MONTH OF MAY 2003 AS "SOUTH CAROLINA HIGHWAY SAFETY MONTH".
Whereas, in South Carolina, during the last five years, over five thousand fatalities and five hundred thousand injuries have been reported in highway crashes; and
Whereas, the economic cost to South Carolina due to highway crashes during the last ten years has exceeded twenty 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; and
Whereas, the month of May is one of the busiest months to be traveling on South Carolina's highways. 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 2003 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 to encourage all South Carolinians to work together to ensure the safety of our citizens on South Carolina's highways.
