There's some things:
- Start with educating your drivers properly. As a German the US process of acquiring a driver's license looks like thinly-disguised rubber stamping.
- Rethink your roads, signals, and what surrounds them. Use modern techniques that make pedestrians and drivers safer.
The above two should get you from about 7.3 road deaths per billion vehicle kilometers to somewhere in the ballpark of Germany (4.2). Maybe even better than that since some of the planning and signals here still suck...
Finally you're just driving way too much. This becomes obvious when comparing road deaths per 100k inhabitants: just 4.1 in Germany vs 12.4 in the US. Yup, that's a 200% difference. Public transport anyone?
Canada is also doing better on those statistics, but I don't know much about how to acquire Canadian driver's licenses or what their road planning looks like.
