Texas Leads Nation in Traffic Death Reduction
Texas ranked fifth among states for traffic death reductions in 1938. Public safety director Homer Garrison Jr announced that Texas saved 434 lives that year, a state record only surpassed by two in the South Central region. The 1938 toll fell to 1,610 from 2,042, due largely to selective enforcement and a 21 percent reduction statewide. The nation’s average drop was 19 percent.
