Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. First implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero has proved successful across Europe — and now it’s gaining momentum in major American cities.

The Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) includes Vision Zero for this area, and the draft iCAP 2020 includes it as an objective for the Resilience chapter (as of February 2020). The City of Urbana's Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Commission (BPAC) passed a resolution in support of Vision Zero in fall 2019.
