San Jose’s Vision Zero is an Action Plan to lower and ultimately eliminate traffic fatalities and severe traffic injuries. San Jose saw a record 65 traffic fatalities, almost twice the number of homicides in the city in the year 2022 alone. And that is unacceptable.
Although San Jose leaders have committed to funding Vision Zero, our communities cannot afford the pace at which the city is currently funding and implementing it. We need Vision Zero funded and to implemented now!
We are demanding that our city leaders prioritize funding, Increase the amount of money to the Department of Transportation to support the more rapid build-out of
Vision Zero, the
Bike Plan, and implement Vision Zero in the next two fiscal years.
