Vision Zero Communities

*Three newly recognized Vision Zero communities have been added to the map*

This map includes more than 70 communities that have demonstrated a strong commitment to Vision Zero through an explicit focus on speed management, equity, and a Safe System Approach to Vision Zero planning.

Note: This map does not reflect all of the Vision Zero communities in the U.S.
