Vision Zero Milwaukee

Vision Zero is the goal of zero deaths or life-changing injuries from traffic crashes.

Because everyone has the right to travel safely and no one should have to risk their life to walk, bike, use transit, or drive, the City of Milwaukee unanimously adopted Vision Zero as a policy in 2022. Since then, the City has taken many actions to build a system where streets are safe for everyone. The Vision Zero Action Plan has over 100 solutions that must be implemented to achieve the goal of zero traffic deaths or life-changing injuries in the City of Milwaukee by the end of 2037.
