Therefore, at first, there is a need to identify the solutions of reducing the accidents, their priories and finally their efficiency improvement. In this research, using Hierarchical Analysis Method, the solutions to reduce the accidents are prioritized and then In order to conduct the AHP analysis, Expert Choice software was chosen. According to research findings, the factors that lead to accidents are categorized as: Human factors, road environmental factors, vehicle, natural factors and managerial factors. The findings show that in order to reduce the road accidents and according to the budget limitation, these solutions are used: government’s attention to proper budget, providing necessary budget by cash punishment for violent drivers, public training of drivers by Mass Media Road maintenance and transportation organization consistently, using intelligent systems ITS, GPS, WIM and speed- control cameras, installing illuminating equipment, electrical sign boards in accident- happening places, training employees and transportation department’s forces consistently, increasing safety of cars and installing guard equipment for drivers, mandatory control of drivers by police in accident- happening places
