, policy analyst, District Department of Transportation presents the successes, challenges, and plans for the future of Vision Zero, a new approach to traffic safety that began in Sweden and is being applied to the streets of Washington, D.C. Vision Zero aims to eliminate all traffic fatalities and serious injuries by designing and operating a safe system, supported by strategic enforcement, education, and evaluation. The simple yet ambitious concept relies most heavily on effective street design: humans make mistakes, but the transportation system must not.
