Vision Zero Ann Arbor
We are a grassroots organization working to ensure safe streets for all road users in Ann Arbor, Michigan and surrounding communities through Vision Zero and Safe Systems principles. We believe that the safety of our streets for all users is paramount, and that human life must be prioritized over convenience.
Deaths and serious injuries on Ann Arbor roadways are unacceptable and preventable.
What is Vision Zero?
According to the Vision Zero Network,
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.
How is Ann Arbor doing?
Ann Arbor's City Council committed to reaching this target of zero deaths and serious injuries by 2025, but has failed to meet that target, instead continuing to prioritize driver convenience.
Together, we can urge City Council to follow through on their commitments, and make Ann Arbor streets safe and accessible for people walking, rolling, biking, driving, or taking the bus.
