What Comes Next in the Future of Vision Zero

What Comes Next in the Future of Vision Zero

Nearly 10 years since the first U.S. cities adopted Vision Zero policies, traffic fatalities are at an all-time high. This isn’t for lack of trying: more than 45 cities have adopted Vision Zero policies and have made significant progress in delivering transportation safety projects and other safety programs. But Vision Zero is undoubtedly at a crossroads, leaving us with a host of unanswered questions: other tools and mechanisms exist, but are we willing to use them? Can we get the buy-in we need to push for wholesale change? In short, where do we go from here?

In this session, David Zipper, author of “Why Vision Zero Hit a Wall” and “Why Isn’t There a Canadian Traffic Safety Crisis?” will moderate a conversation among leaders in cities that are bucking the national fatality trends, those that are asking tough questions about what comes next, and those that are operating in more safety-oriented national contexts.
