Today as part of the City's Safer Streets Initiative, I announced that the City of Houston will adopt
#VisionZero, a comprehensive strategy which reframes the way we think about street safety. This means Houston will join cities and states in creating and carrying out strategies built on these fundamental principles:
o everyone deserves safe and mindful mobility,
o roadway fatalities are preventable,
o And NO loss of life by traffic collision is acceptable.
I plan to formalize the City’s support for Vision Zero through an Executive Order with goal to drastically reduce or eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries by 2030.
