On October 27, 2017, Mayor Levar M. Stoney signed a pledge to wholeheartedly commit the City of Richmond to Vision Zero and eliminate all traffic‐related fatalities and serious injuries on city streets by 2030. This is a big vision and the right vision for us to act on. Because traffic crashes are preventable, no deaths or injuries are acceptable.

Unfortunately, Richmond has seen a steady increase in traffic fatalities over the past couple of years. So far in 2017,traffic crashes have claimed 21 victims in the City of Richmond ‐ the highest amount in years. This is unacceptable and you can help make a difference.

Acting upon the pledge, the Safe and Healthy Streets Commission is creating a Vision Zero Action Plan. This multi-stakeholder safety plan will provide a strategic framework to eliminate highway fatalities and serious injuries on city streets. Input from the community (you!) and involved stakeholders is a vital aspect of making Vision Zero a success. The Commission through its consultant, VHB, is seeking additional input as an opportunity for you to express your existing safety priorities and concerns as well as develop actions that involved stakeholders may work together on to get to zero. Developing a better transportation safety culture is our primary goal. Thanks for all that you do to improve our safety record.
