BACKGROUND:By request of the InterNeighborhood Council, Transportation & Engineering Director Nick Ross will share the city's approach to the Vision Zero safety concept and the principles outlined in the recent Bozeman SAFE plan. "Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all." (Vision Zero Network) It was first implemented in Sweden staring in the 1990s. Vision Zero is a shift from a more traditional safety approach. It is a shift from thinking that traffic deaths are inevitable to them being preventable, a shift from assuming perfect human behaviors to integrating human failures into the system, from preventing collisions to preventing fatal and severe crashes, from individual responsibility to a systems approach. Vision Zero is a multidisciplinary approach that recognizes that people make mistakes and the road system and policies are envisioned to ensure that those mistakes do not lead to severe injury or fatality. The four Ps of Bozeman Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE) Plan tie to the Vision Zero recognition of the need for a systematic approach. Vision Zero can be viewed as four primary components: streets, speeds, vehicles, and people. Vision Zero uses data to focus on the prevention of severe and fatal crashes. The four Ps of the Bozeman SAFE plan focuses on streets through physical changes, speeds through policy and policing changes, and people through promotion of safety education and awareness. Ensuring that the data is viewed with an equity lens is critical as marginalized populations may be less likely to report traffic crashes. Additionally, ensuring that increased policing focuses on safety related issues is an important equity issue. 7 City staff is targeting policy changes in the upcoming changes to the Engineering Design Standards and Specifications and the update of the Unified Development Code (UDC). The UDC update in particular offers significant opportunity to embrace the multidisciplinary approach that is core to Vision Zero.
