Let’s work together as communities to reduce all kinds of crash deaths–including pedestrian traffic fatalities. Let’s create a network of Vision Zero Community Action Groups across this nation. With shared vision and resources.

Pedestrian Traffic Fatalities by State 2015 Preliminary Data

I firmly believe that, in order to move as a nation Toward a Vision of Zero Crash Deaths, it will take take a commitment to a National Vision Zero Goal and a coordinated endeavor of government, private industry, workers of every skill imaginable, and informed citizens. Anything short of this will be disjointed and less effective, which translates into — not simply unmet project goals but — people dying. It is not an impossible dream but it will require sacrifice and will be well worth the effort.

Do it, President Obama, for We the People of this United States of America! #VisionZero

See what is being done in Bangladesh, through a community project, to reduce crash fatalities: Community project puts a dent in crash fatality numbers.
