NYC Vision Zero

NYC Vision Zero is an initiative aimed at eliminating traffic deaths and serious injuries on city streets. It focuses on implementing safety measures like better street design, traffic law enforcement, and public education to protect all road users—including pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. The goal is to create a safer environment where transportation is accessible and safe for everyone, reducing crash-related harm while maintaining efficient mobility. Launched in 2014, Vision Zero underscores a commitment to proactive safety strategies rather than reactive responses, fostering a culture of safety and accountability across the city's transportation network.
