HIGH INJURY NETWORK (HIN) HIN AND EQUITY In order to reach the ambitious target of eliminating all traffic deaths by 2025, the City of Los Angeles is implementing a datadriven approach.

Our next steps include detailed crash profiling to inform our engineering toolkit, educational campaigns, and enforcement.
