IMPLEMENTATION
The City of Los Angeles commits to working with our growing list of community organizations. Leadership and staff from Los Angeles County, our trauma hospitals, and key stakeholder groups, such as the growing Vision Zero Alliance, will be critical in achieving our Vision Zero goals.
Engineering
Streets should be designed to prevent fatal collisions to the greatest extent possible. Engineering improvements such as marked crosswalks, protected bike lanes, or enhanced signalization will improve safety for all road users.
Education
A key component to keeping our streets safe is to learn how to practice safe roadway behavior. New, widespread education efforts involving community partners will help to ensure everyone becomes a part of the culture of safety.
Enforcement
Achieving zero traffic deaths in Los Angeles would be impossible without holding everyone accountable to the laws that keep us safe. However, concern about equitable enforcement of the law is an ongoing national discussion. The City recognizes that an enforcement effort grounded in data will encourage equitable outcomes. Enforcement of Vision Zero will focus on the top driving behaviors shown to cause deaths and serious injury collisions.
Evaluation
Clear data about traffic safety problems and the efficacy of solutions are necessary to track, measure, and achieve our goals. Improving and expanding methods for data collection, analysis, and sharing will help the City to target improvements where they are needed most and deliver cost-effective results.
