Vision Zero Action Plan
Zero Fatalities, Safe Streets
Overview
On May 21, 2026, the City Council adopted the Vision Zero Action Plan (VZAP). Among many other cities nationwide, Fresno is facing a traffic safety crisis, with 217 fatal and 629 severe injury crashes on city streets. Vision Zero commits the City to the goal of eliminating these tragedies by 2050 through a Safe System Approach that prioritizes human life, designs for human error, and embeds safety into every transportation decision. Recognized by the United States Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, the Safe System Approach is guided by the following principles: deaths and serious injuries are unacceptable, humans make mistakes, humans are vulnerable, responsibility is shared, safety is proactive, and redundancy is crucial. The model uses a holistic method for achieving roadway safety, acknowledging that there is a shared responsibility between those that design, build, operate, and use the street network.
The Fresno Vision Zero Action Plan is a data-driven and informed by where, how, and why crashes are occurring. The recommendations, strategies, programs, policies, and actions outlined in the VZAP are rooted in the Safe System Approach and establish the framework, leadership commitment, and urgency needed to shift from reactive responses to proactive, life-saving action.
