“Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. First implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero has proved successful across Europe — and now it’s gaining momentum in major American cities.”
The Vision Zero Network members of San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties in California, the heart of Silicon Valley, aim to have “zero deaths or life-altering injuries due to roadway design or user error.”
Silicon Valley Bicycle Coalition, along with California Walks, developed a Vision Zero Toolkit to guide cities in taking short-, mid-, and long-term measures to reduce road fatalities. You can download the Vision Zero Toolkit Thank you SVBC and California Walks for sharing your work so generously.
