In recent years we have taken steps to improve transportation safety. We have made progress but more work is needed as fatalities and serious injuries still occur, and even one fatality is too many.
Great strides are being made around the world and more and more public and private agencies are recognizing that zero fatalities is the only acceptable goal for transportation safety.
To achieve our goal, we developed our Moving Towards Zero Safety Action Plan (2.7 MB), which we presented to City Council in November 2016.
