2 Why Vision Zero Vision Zero is a concept to eliminate traffic fatalities for all travel modes. This concept, first initiated in Sweden in the 1990s, takes an approach to achieve safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. The concept has been successful in Europe and is now gaining traction in many American cities. Over 35,000 people die on our nation s highways and hundreds of thousands more are seriously injured. In Richmond, more than a dozen of people are killed on City streets annually. This is a serious public health risk that cannot be tackled by any one agency or organization. It is important to have a collaborative effort between engineers, enforcement, educators, emergency responders, elected officials, and everyone who use our streets. Vision Zero is based on five fundamental principles: Traffic deaths and severe injuries are acknowledged to be preventable. Human life and health are prioritized within all aspects of transportation systems. Acknowledgement that human error is inevitable, and transportation systems should be forgiving. Vision Zero prioritizes the following policies and practices: Build and sustain leadership, collaboration, and accountability. Collect, analyze, and use data. Prioritize equity and engagement. Lead with roadway design that prioritizes safety. Manage speed to safe levels. Maximize technology advances, but don t overlook low-tech solutions. Safety work should begin with systemslevel changes and follow with influencing individual behavior. Speed is recognized and prioritized as the fundamental factor in crash severity. The Richmond Vision Zero Action Plan incorporates these policies and practices in a comprehensive set of strategies and actions to address safety on City streets with a goal to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries. Blank page or photo Richmond s Vision Zero Effort Richmond is committed to a strong and effective Vision Zero plan. The following are components of our effort to implement a plan that will have a long-lasting effect for all transportation system users.
3 Political Commitment Our leadership are committed to the implementation of a Vision Zero plan. Mayor Stoney unveiled the City s commitment to a Vision Zero approach on October 27, This extends from a resolution approved by City Council in March 2016 to commit to a reduction of fatalities on City streets to zero by This commitment includes the development of this Action Plan. Multi-Disciplinary Leadership The Safe and Healthy Streets Commission is the advisory board guiding the development and implementation of Vision Zero in Richmond. This multi-disciplinary group meets quarterly to monitor the safety of our transportation network and develops recommendations to address safety issues. Our Commission is committed to include representatives from agencies and organizations across the city to shepherd the implementation of Vision Zero in the years ahead. Cooperation and Collaboration Richmond s Vision Zero stakeholder agencies and organizations number in the hundreds, and all have an ongoing opportunity to guide and shape the development and implementation of a successful Vision Zero Action Plan. Involvement of agencies, organizations, and individuals is essential to carry out the diverse strategies and actions in the Plan as no one agency has the resources to carry out every single activity. Each participant has a role and responsibility to advance different elements of the Plan. Systems-Based Approach The City of Richmond Department of Public Works and partner agencies are committed to an approach to focus on improving the built environment, systems, and policies that will improve safety of the transportation system for all users. Street design has an impact on the perception of safety when using the transportation system. The reconfiguration of the streetscape reduces both the number and severity of crashes for all modes. This embraces the Vision Zero principle that human life and health are prioritized within all aspects of transportation systems. Data-Driven Our plan uses data to help prioritize its resources so that investments go to the greatest needs. Traffic deaths and severe injuries are preventable but the circumstances are complex and must be wellunderstood to be appropriately addressed. Community Engagement Our plan was developed in consultation with agencies and organizations at the city, regional, and State levels through a series of workshops as well as an online survey to gauge safety priorities and concerns. The implementation of the Vision Zero plan will involve continued public engagement and engage the diverse communities that make up the City through the Commission. Transparency We are committed to reporting the implementation progress of Vision Zero. The availability of good quality data increases civic engagement and enables Richmonders to identify key traffic crash issues.
4 Transparency is tied to responsiveness and good governance. City Council and the public will receive an annual scorecard of progress and will have access to a dashboard of statistics. Equity Our Vision Zero efforts take an equitable approach by establishing inclusive actions to provide safe transportation options for all road users across the City. This approach recognizes the fact that certain communities are more impacted than others. The implementation of the plan will prioritize resources to invest in the communities that are most impacted by crashes and include proactive engagement with community members through the Commission. Action Plan This Vision Zero Action Plan is the culmination of outreach efforts beginning with the Mayor s pledge in October 2017 and included data analysis, research, workshops and online surveys to determine City safety priorities. The strategies are identified along with the owners of the strategies, interim targets, timelines, and performance metrics. The Vision Zero plan is a living document, and as such, the actions will be reviewed and revised as needed to mobilize resources to those issues with the greatest need. Richmond s Crash Experience A Vision Zero effort includes an evaluation of traffic crash data. The development of this Action Plan included an analysis of traffic data provided by the City of Richmond. City staff and the Richmond Police Department have long monitored and analyzed traffic crashes in the City to develop data-driven safety actions that provide the greatest impact for all road users. Crashes occur on our roads every day with most of them not resulting in fatalities or serious injuries. Vision Zero principles recognize that crashes will happen, however, they should not result in the loss of life or a life altering injury. This Vision Zero Action Plan includes strategies and actions that focus on fatalities and serious injuries. After reaching a low in the number of fatalities in 2014, this number is rising toward the same levels as found a decade earlier. Annual Fatalities in Richmond (graphic enhanced in final version 2017 to be confirmed as 21 or 22)
5 Fatal and serious injuries on our streets are not limited to one location fatal and serious injury crashes happen across the city, with greater frequency on roadways with more traffic. These streets, particularly those carrying a large volume of vehicles are also wider with more travel lanes. Fatal and Serious Injury Crashes from 2014 to 2016 Why are people dying in crashes on our roads? The causes of these crashes are complex and varied. Some factors or circumstances are present in multiple fatal crashes including the lack of restrain use by occupants, involvement of a pedestrian, drunk driving, vehicles running off the road, and speed. Multiple factors may be present in a crash. Factors in Fatalities
6 Of concern, many of the people who have died in these crashes have been people walking. Pedestrian fatalities in Richmond are disproportionately high when compared to other localities within Virginia. Pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries have occurred across the city, with greater numbers in areas of greater pedestrian activity in the downtown area and on and connecting to the VCU campus. Pedestrian Crashes 2011 to 2016 (to be revised as heat map) Richmond s Vision Zero Strategies and Actions Our Vision Zero plan was developed in conjunction with a review of crash data, research of best practices from other jurisdictions, and outreach to agencies and organizations at the local, regional, and State levels. The identified actions account for activities that involve engineering, enforcement, education, emergency response, and equity. The Vision Zero plan organizes the actions into three groups of strategies and actions. Executive Level these actions are safety initiatives carried out by city staff under the leadership of the mayor and executive staff to advance safety initiatives and establish safe practices. Legislative and Budget these actions are to modify or introduce laws and policies and budget resources to support safety initiatives and strengthen safety efforts and programs. Cultural these actions are those that the media and neighborhood leaders, residents, and employers can take to make positive changes in our safety culture.
