Bay Area Vision Zero Working Group
Vision Zero is an initiative to reduce the Bay Area’s annual roadway injuries and fatalities to zero. This MTC-led working group strives to make the region’s streets safer for everyone, especially pedestrians and bicyclists.
Over 400 fatalities and 1,500 serious injuries occur on the Bay Area’s local streets and roads each year. As the population grows and the total vehicle miles traveled increase, these numbers could rise if regional and local policies remain unchanged.
The Bay Area Vision Zero Working Group is an MTC-led panel of officials working toward a shared goal of making the region’s streets safer for everyone.
Members come from cities, counties, transit agencies and universities.
MTC will also use the group to help roll out technical assistance efforts.
