Vision Zero is a global movement to end traffic deaths and includes a shared responsibility for traffic safety among all transportation system users, designers, and operators. Vision Zero acknowledges that human mistakes are inevitable, and transportation systems can be designed and operated to accommodate certain types and levels of human mistakes to avoid death and serious injuries when a crash occurs.

A Vision Zero Action Plan outlines the most important contributing factors in fatal and serious injury traffic crashes using data analysis and public input. To address these contributing factors, the plan will lay out actionable, innovative, and measurable strategies that emphasize design and policy solutions, as well as designing complete streets and lowering speeds for safety to keep all roadway users safe.
