TOWARD
SAFER
STREETS
Even prior to Vision Zero, the City of Los Angeles has been
tending to the safety needs of all roadway users as part of
routine, day-to-day work. Several ongoing initiatives and
plans lay the groundwork for Vision Zero Los Angeles. From
the Safe Routes to School Strategic Plan and Crossing Guard
program, to the Mobility Plan 2035 and the Los Angeles
Department of Transportation (LADOT) Strategic Plan, Great
Streets for Los Angeles, safety is the “north star” that unifies
the goals and objectives of these efforts.
Vision Zero Los Angeles will build upon ongoing work by
creating a data-driven approach to safety improvements,
including prioritizing areas of the City with the greatest need.
This will better position us to take advantage of resources
to fund and implement safety improvements, allowing us
to reach our goal in a deliberate, objective manner that is
focused on decreasing traffic-related deaths and life-changing
injuries.
