Vision Zero: A Health Equity Road Map for Getting to Zero in Every Community

Manal J. Aboelata, Elva Yanez, Rebekah Kharrazi

Date Published:  January 2017

Summary

Vision Zero: A Health Equity Road Map for Getting to Zero in Every Community is a brief that offers recommendations for advancing health equity through Vision Zero, a growing movement among cities nationally and internationally to eliminate all traffic-related deaths and severe injuries within a designated time period. With its audacious goal, Vision Zero represents the opportunity to rethink how we utilize data, invest resources, and operate today’s transportation system to improve conditions so that all road users, including pedestrians and bicyclists, have the opportunity to travel safely. In the US context, “getting to zero” requires an explicit focus on health equity involving innovative approaches to data collection, community engagement, and public investments in low-income communities, communities of color, and among road users most disproportionately involved in traffic fatalities and severe injuries.
