“The process of building an Action Plan is just as important as the final product. Vision Zero is based on the concept of shared responsibility for safety, and outreach and engagement to communities — especially those who are most vulnerable on the roadways — is absolutely essential for success.”

Community Advisory Committee
As an essential component of the Vision Zero Safety Action Plan development, the Transportation Council is assembling a Community Advisory Committee (CAC), comprised of local community members representing populations who have been historically underserved and marginalized in transportation planning processes, such as youth, elderly, racial and ethnic minorities, low-income individuals, and those with disabilities.
The CAC will meet on a regular basis (approximately every other month) to guide the Plan’s development and play a role in decision-making processes, such as project identification and prioritization.
