What is Vision Zero? Vision Zero is a traffic safety policy that takes an ethical approach towards achieving safety for all road users. The goal is to achieve a reduction in the number of fatal and serious injury crashes to zero in Tempe, because no loss of life is acceptable. Data Driven Safety Policies Fatal and serious injury crashes are not “accidents” and are preventable. The City of Tempe is committed to reducing the number of fatal and serious injury crashes to zero. One death is too many. One serious injury is too many. This application explores Tempe's crash data which is collected by the Tempe Police Department and reported to the Arizona Department of Transportation. Traffic engineers use this data for network screening, which they can then use for diagnosing potential safety issues and implementing countermeasures to improve safety. Community Input Included in this application is an option for people from the community to add their own transportation safety concerns that the City of Tempe should be made aware of.
