Phoenix plans to sign on to an international road safety strategy called Vision Zero, with a goal to eventually reach zero traffic deaths.
Signing onto the plan will make Phoenix eligible for additional federal traffic safety dollars in the infrastructure bill recently passed by Congress specifically reserved for Vision Zero cities.
City council voted 7-2 for staff to move forward with becoming a Vision Zero city. After staff drafts a resolution, council will vote on it during a future meeting to formally join Vision Zero.
