Vision Zero is a policy and data-driven strategy to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries
Funding for this project was provided in part by Missouri Foundation for Health. PedNet Coalition was awarded a grant from Missouri Foundation for Health in 2015 to advocate for a Vision Zero policy in Columbia, and to assist with the City of Columbia's initial Vision Zero implementation steps.
In comparison to city population size, the number of people killed in crashes in Columbia is higher than many other Vision Zero cities.
Columbia's traffic fatality rate is nearly twice that of New York City and San Francisco.
