Boston Region Vision Zero Action Plan

A roadmap to safer streets

Over the past 5 years, crashes on our roads have killed or seriously injured over 1,000 people per year. We’re dedicated to changing that trend, and Vision Zero is the way to do it. The Boston Region Vision Zero Action Plan will chart a course towards safer, healthier, and more equitable mobility for all road users.
