What's the Cost of Vision Zero?
What is necessary for a city to truly meet the goal of zero traffic fatalities? Cities all across the country are evaluating the efficacy of Vision Zero as deadlines get closer and closer. 2025 is Philadelphia’s 9th year of being a Vision Zero city and while the original goal was zero fatalities by 2030, the COVID-19 Pandemic severely impacted traffic violence as a whole. Mayor Parker introduced an executive order in March 2024 recommitting Philadelphia to Vision Zero and setting a new goal of 2050. What does it really take to reach that goal? What’s the monetary costs of improvements? How long does it take to complete physical projects? And at what cost of lives and to communities?
