The City Where Traffic Fatalities Vanished A global Vision Zero movement is celebrating success in reducing and, in some cases, eliminating fatal traffic fatalities. One participating city is Hoboken, New Jersey, that hasn’t had a single fatal crash in nine years. “By studying which factors contribute to local crash fatalities, Vision Zero proponents say, communities can decide to change policies, infrastructure and human behavior to reduce the likelihood of fatal accidents.” While there were many factors involved, collaboration with aligned government departments, community groups, and most of all, community members, makes the difference. They flag issues, report data, and are involved in the decision-making process. Hoboken’s Vision Zero program director says, “Public engagement was and is core to this.” | Be The Change Identify an issue in your community, and get involved in helping to create a solution. | |
