Why is this plan being developed?

The City of Delray Beach is creating a Vision Zero Action Plan.
This plan focuses on one clear goal:

No one should be seriously hurt or killed on our streets.

Take the Survey: Vision Zero Action Plan Survey

Vision Zero is a safety approach used by cities across the country and around the world.

It is based on a simple idea: Traffic deaths and serious injuries are preventable.

Vision Zero means:

• Streets should be designed to keep people safe
• People make mistakes, and streets should allow for that
• Safety is more important than speed or convenience
• Everyone deserves to travel safely

This includes:

• People walking
• People biking
• People driving
• People using wheelchairs or mobility devices
• People using public transportation

The Delray Beach City Commission has already shown its support for safer streets.

The City adopted a Vision Zero Resolution in 2022, which means:

• The City officially supports the goal of zero traffic deaths
• Safety is a top priority in transportation decisions
• City departments will work together to improve street safety

This Action Plan builds on the City’s ongoing work to make streets safer for all.

The Vision Zero Action Plan is a guide for future safety improvements.

The plan will help the City:

• Understand where and why serious crashes happen
• Focus on the streets and areas with the highest risk
• Set clear safety goals
• Choose actions that can save lives
• Track progress over time

The Action Plan will be used to guide:

• Street design projects
• Policy decisions
• Funding requests
• Safety programs and education

This project is funded by the Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program from the U.S. Department of Transportation.

The SS4A program helps cities:

• Plan for safer streets
• Reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries
• Use a “Safe System” approach to safety

This funding helps Delray Beach plan smarter and act faster to improve safety.

If you cannot attend a meeting, you can still participate.

The online survey lets you:

• Point out unsafe locations
• Share concerns or ideas
• Help set safety priorities
