Philly Stat 360 and the City’s Vision Zero program recently launched a new Vision Zero dashboard, showing how the City of Philadelphia is working to reduce traffic deaths across the city.
In Philadelphia, 80 percent of traffic deaths and serious injuries occurred on just 12 percent of streets. Known as the “High Injury Network,” these roads are the focus of Vision Zero’s strategic efforts to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities.
Vision Zero, a collaborative initiative led by the City’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems and the Office of Multimodal Planning, is using a “Safe System” approach to traffic safety that focuses on making streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles, according to city officials.
The new Vision Zero dashboard shows the progress of those efforts and includes interactive maps of installed traffic calming devices and ongoing projects on the High Injury Network, as well as all serious and fatal crashes that occurred in 2023.
“The Vision Zero dashboard shows how the Parker Administration is committed to using data to drive change, holding ourselves accountable to reduce traffic deaths and injuries in Philadelphia,” said Kristin Bray, Director of Philly Stat 360, in a statement. “Any traffic injury is one too many.”
