TRANSPARENCY / MEASURING PROGRESS
METRIC OF SUCCESS Measuring progress toward Vision Zero is crucial for maintaining a data-driven approach to road safety. Regular monitoring and reporting enhance transparency, accountability, and decision-making, helping to identify which strategies are most effective. Analyzing trends allows the city to refine its approach—expanding successful initiatives and adjusting or discontinuing those that fall short. Achieving Vision Zero requires sustained commitment over time. Monitoring efforts should track both outcomes —such as reductions in traffic crashes, particularly fatal and severe injuries—and outputs , including the number and percentage of safety projects implemented, especially along the High-Injury Network (HIN). These insights ensure resources are directed toward the most impactful safety improvements. BE TRANSPARENT ABOUT THE CITY’S STATE OF SAFETY The City will publish the State of Safety Report developed as part of this Safety Action Plan (SAP) and update it every 2–3 years as new data becomes available. Regular updates will help the public understand local safety trends and enable the City to monitor and track crash patterns over time. To enhance accessibility, key safety data should be presented through an online dashboard, providing the public with an easy-to-use platform for reviewing and analyzing safety trends. MAINTAIN AND UPDATE ONLINE SAFETY RESOURCES The City will publish this Safety Action Plan on its Vision Zero (VZ) webpage and the Safety Action Plan website . As safety strategies are implemented and progress is made toward Vision Zero, the City will continue sharing important updates, such as the annual safety report , on these platforms. These online resources will be actively maintained and incorporated into safety campaigns to establish them as the primary sources for transportation safety information.
THE FOLLOWING METRICS WILL BE TRACKED ANNUALLY TO GAUGE PROGRESS TOWARDS VISION ZERO:
• Number of traffic fatalities and severe injuries within the region, in total and by mode. • Number of crashes on and off the High Injury Network (HIN). • Number of crashes occurring on roadways adjacent to schools, parks, and transit stops within vulnerable areas of the community. • Percentage of roadways on the High Injury Network with new street safety improvements. • Number of safety or street reconstruction projects with multimodal facilities, especially along the HIN. • Number of safety projects on roadways adjacent to vulnerable communities. • Number of traffic fatalities and severe injuries within the region, in total and by mode. • Number of crashes on and off the High Injury Network (HIN). • Number of crashes occurring on roadways adjacent to schools, parks, and transit stops within vulnerable communities.
• Number of safety or street reconstruction projects with multimodal facilities, especially along the HIN. • Number of safety projects on roadways adjacent to vulnerable communities. • Miles of sidewalk and bikeways constructed and maintained along the HIN or priority roadways. • Percentage of the HIN covered by Road Safety Audits within the past 5 years. • Average travel speeds within the region by roadway functional classification and median speeds on the High Injury Network or priority roadways. • Commute mode shares for the region. • Number of people reached through road safety outreach, education campaigns, and Vision Zero engagement activities. • Number of agencies and representatives participating in Vision Zero working groups.
