Join us for a webinar on the new Safe System Success Stories, co-hosted by IIHS. What does it look like to move from Safe System principles to real-world action? Leaders from Santa Rosa, CA; Arlington, VA; and the Minnesota Department of Transportation will discuss the newly released Safe System Success Stories case studies and how […]
How do we identify and use the most effective, cost-efficient and equitable tools to make real and lasting road safety progress? This is the high stakes question we delved into during our August 2026 webinar, City Steps: Rightsizing the Role of Traffic Enforcement. We learned how Oakland, California and Minneapolis, Minnesota are actively assessing and, […]
Many agencies are taking encouraging, early steps to adopt the Safe System approach. What comes next, though, is even more important to make meaningful and lasting Vision Zero progress: institutionalizing Safe Systems, so that safety is the default, not the exception, in all plans, policies and practices going forward. This was the emphasis of our […]
In our recent webinar, we were joined by allies at the Policing Project at NYU Law and the ACLU to discuss ways to make traffic enforcement efforts more effective, cost-efficient, and equitable. Check out Vision Zero Network’s new report, Right-Sizing the Role of Traffic Enforcement, to find out more. We discussed important but often overlooked […]
In our April 2nd webinar, we explored how tech tools and creative partnerships can support a more proactive and effective Safe System approach to road safety by helping communities better identify risk and encourage safe driving behaviors.The conversation showcased tools from Cambridge Mobile Telematics (CMT) and Uber that can complement Vision Zero and Safe System […]
Across the country, more communities are shifting to a Safe System approach, using road safety strategies focused on upstream changes. And many are seeing encouraging results. In 2025, traffic deaths declined by 12% compared to 2024, following smaller decreases of 3% in 2023 and 2% in 2022. When we zoom in at the local level, […]
Why ISA? Why Start with Public Fleets? As communities across the country work to make meaningful progress on lowering speed limits, redesigning streets, and investing in tools like speed safety cameras, the “Safe Vehicles” pillar of the Safe System approach remains the least activated among proven speed management strategies. Local governments have a powerful, immediate […]
by Reetu Pethani High speeds remain a leading cause of traffic deaths and severe injuries in the United States – even as the tools to tame speeds and prevent tragedies become more effective and accessible. We highlighted some of the most promising – and underused – speed management tools in our January 2026 webinar. Led […]
As Vision Zero and the Safe System approach gain attention and support across the nation, it is important to remember that Vision Zero commitments need to be far more than just words or catchy taglines. This work is ambitious and challenging. And it is achievable. To move from commitment to action and to progress will […]
Many communities lack reliable, up-to-date information about essential elements of their transportation systems, preventing them from making the case for safety improvements. We learned how the State of Rhode Island and other communities are leveraging mapping technologies to address this problem, particularly to improve pedestrian safety. Watch our recording of the October 23, 2025 webinar […]
It is no secret that preventing unsafe speeds is one of the most – if not the most – important things we can do to advance safe mobility for all. And we have a lot of proven ways to do just that. Surprisingly, though, one of the most effective ways to manage speeds for safety […]
Is your Vision Zero work being questioned by skeptics asking: “Is this worth it? We’re not closer to our goal after a few years.” One response may point to successful examples of communities that have reached their goals of safe streets for all. This includes Helsinki, a city of nearly 700,000 people, which succeeded in […]
How can we better innovate to identify and address dangerous driving behaviors—in upstream and holistic ways—before they result in crashes? That’s the question we explored in our recent webinar, Insights & Actions to Improve Driving Behaviors & Reduce Risks. Specifically, how telematics and mobile-based technology can be leveraged to better understand risky driving behaviors that […]
Whether your community has 1,000 residents or 1 million and whether it's urban or rural, you’re likely facing more traffic safety challenges than you have staff, funding or capacity to address. No community has unlimited time or resources, so it’s critical to be strategic about how to stretch limited resources — whether that’s funding, staffing, […]
According to analysis by the Centers for Disease Control, the U.S. ranks WORST – dead last – amongst 28 other high-income nations they assessed. And while these numbers might be disheartening they show that the U.S. has immense potential to improve traffic safety. We can save lives because we have the tools, knowledge, and inspiration […]
If the goal is to use speed safety cameras (along with other measures) to effectively and fairly deter dangerous speeds, then serious thought should be put into how the program is designed, operated and evaluated. We’re encouraged to see more communities focused on this goal, which helped lead to the development of the new report, […]
