City releases Vision Zero update

If you’re familiar with the Vision Zero initiative, you know that Austin has been struggling to reduce traffic fatalities and serious injury crashes. Now the Vision Zero program has released a report describing its efforts over the past two years as well as “progress made in crash data analysis and management, safety improvements, communications campaigns, local partnerships and next steps for the program.” While any progress in this area is commendable, as the city acknowledges, “there is a long way to go for Austin to reach its goal of zero.” View the report.
