A Vision for Safer Roads
What is Vision Zero?
Vision Zero is a traffic safety policy that takes an ethical
approach towards achieving safety for all road users. The goal is to achieve a
reduction in the number of fatal and serious injury crashes to zero in Tempe,
because no loss of life is acceptable.
Data Driven Safety Policies
Fatal and serious injury crashes are not “accidents” and are
preventable. The City of Tempe is committed to reducing the number of fatal and
serious injury crashes to zero. One death is too many. One serious injury is
too many.
This application explores Tempe's crash data which is
collected by the Tempe Police Department and reported to the Arizona Department
of Transportation. Traffic engineers use this data for network screening, which
they can then use for diagnosing potential safety issues and implementing
countermeasures to improve safety.
Community Input
Included in this application is an option for people from
the community to add their own transportation safety concerns that the City of
Tempe should be made aware of.
