From Seattle to San Antonio, Durham to Denver more than 45 communities have committed to Vision Zero in the U.S. — while many others are considering and working toward such a commitment.
So what makes a Vision Zero Community? One that meets the following minimum criteria:
A clear goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries has been set.
The Mayor has publicly, officially committed to Vision Zero.
A Vision Zero plan or strategy is in place, or the Mayor has committed to doing so in clear time frame.
Key departments (including transportation, public health and mayors' offices) are leading.
