On June 14, 2023, SCTPO Vision Zero Project Manager, Shelby Villatoro, coordinated our Vision Zero: Taking Action Together Workshop, which focused on ways to move the needle of Vision Zero toward action through strategic implementation strategies that prioritize safety for all road users.

Thanks to all our local transportation planners, safety advocates, engineers, technical consultants, citizens, municipal representatives, elected officials, and law enforcement officers who were able to join!

Imagine a world where nobody has to die from vehicle crashes.

The Safe System approach aims to eliminate fatal & serious injuries for all road users. It does so through a holistic view of the road system that first anticipates human mistakes and second keeps impact energy on the human body at tolerable levels.

Safety is an ethical imperative of the designers and owners of the transportation system. Here’s what you need to know to bring the Safe System approach to your community.

On February 3, 2022, the SCTPO in partnership with the Florida Department of Transportation - District Five, held the first Safe System Symposium in the state of Florida, where transportation planners, safety advocates, engineers, technical consultants, citizens, municipal representatives, and law enforcement officers gathered together to learn more about the Safe System Approach. Attendees walked away with a larger overview of all the elements that need to work in unison in order to get zero. Check out all of the symposium materials and resources.
