Under Article 13 of the Traffic Safety Policies Law (Law No. 110 of 1970), the government is required each year to report to the Diet on the status of traffic accidents in the previous year, on measures currently being implemented to promote traffic safety, and on plans for traffic safety measures in the current year. All of this is contained in a report known as the White Paper on Traffic Safety. This year's White Paper is the 36th in the series of such reports. Part I and Part II of the report follow the structure of the Seventh Fundamental Traffic Safety Program and the Eighth Fundamental Traffic Safety Program respectively, and each is organized into sections on land (road and railway), maritime and air transportation.
