Jacksonville's Vision Zero Action Plan: A Comprehensive Approach to Safer Streets for All

The City of Jacksonville is taking a proactive stance to enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety and reduce traffic fatalities. The Vision Zero Action Plan (VZAP) is a comprehensive strategy designed to eliminate all traffic fatalities and reduce serious injuries in half by 2035.

Key components of the VZAP include:

  • High Injury Network (HIN) Identification: Pinpointing specific corridors with the highest rates of accidents to prioritize interventions.
  • Feasible Policy Recommendations: Developing practical solutions, such as improved crosswalks, bike lanes, and speed limits, to address safety concerns.
  • Measurable Performance Targets: Setting clear goals to track progress and ensure accountability.
  • Comprehensive Crash Analysis: Conducting in-depth studies to understand the causes of accidents and inform targeted interventions.
  • Branding and Public Engagement Strategy: Raising awareness, fostering community involvement, and building support for the VZAP.
  • Demonstration Projects: Implementing innovative safety measures in select areas to showcase their effectiveness and encourage wider adoption.
  • Collaboration with Partner Agencies: Working closely with organizations like the Florida Department of Transportation, Jacksonville Transportation Authority, and local law enforcement to coordinate efforts and maximize impact.

Equity and Inclusion: The VZAP recognizes that traffic safety disparities exist within the community. It will prioritize interventions in areas with historically higher rates of accidents and ensure that all residents have equal access to safe transportation options.

A Safer Future for Jacksonville: By implementing the VZAP, Jacksonville aims to create a safer and more pedestrian-friendly city where everyone can feel confident in their travels. The plan's focus on data-driven solutions, community engagement, and collaboration will contribute to a significant reduction in traffic-related injuries and fatalities.
