Zero traffic-related fatalities is the only acceptable goal. Unfortunately, our nation sees approximately 40,000 traffic deaths per year. Reducing that number requires a concerted group effort.
Currently, there are three national programs focused on reducing traffic fatalities to zero—Toward Zero Deaths (TZD), Vision Zero and Road to Zero. While these approaches each use different names, they are complementary efforts that support the shared goal of safe mobility for all people.
Each program promotes a multi-disciplinary approach, meaning they encourage involvement from a variety of stakeholders. The engagement happens across the country, throughout state and local organizations and within communities large and small that all focus on the goal of zero traffic-related deaths.
