The Maryland Traffic Safety Commission was organized in 1941.
The Commission of eighteen members is appointed by the Governor
for six-year terms, one-third of these terms expiring every two years.

The Commission seeks to promote traffic safety on the streets and
highways of Maryland; and seeks to coordinate the activities of
public and private agencies interested in, or affected by, the problems
of traffic safety, assisting such agencies to augment their programs
by study, education and information. The Commission has enlisted
the aid of business associations, civic groups, and newspapers in the
promotion of traffic safety. In cooperation with the Department of
State Police, the Commission releases monthly reports of traffic acci-
dents and fatalities in the State (Code 1947 Supp. Art. 41, sees. 175,
176). Appropriations for the administration of the agency are in-
cluded with those of the State Roads Commission.
