Vision Zero: Transportation Safety

Sacramento is a Vision Zero City. What does this mean?

Sacramento is a Vision Zero City. What does this mean? Vision Zero is a traffic safety philosophy that rejects the notion that traffic crashes are simply “accidents,” but instead preventable incidents that can and must be systematically addressed. Through Vision Zero, the City of Sacramento and its partners are committed to working together to create safer streets.

What is Sacramento doing to accomplish its goals around vision zero?

On January 19, 2017, City Council adopted a resolution adopting the follow goal:

The City of Sacramento will work collaboratively in a data-driven effort to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2027.

In 2018, City Council adopted the Vision Zero Action Plan identifying those roads with the highest number of injuries and fatalities as “high injury network.” It also includes over 40 actions to address transportation safety. The City has made significant progress on Vision Zero. See our Summer 2023 update to learn about progress on Vision Zero actions.
