Leavenworth County is furthering its commitment to ending traffic deaths and serious injuries on our streets through a new safety initiative called Vision Zero.

Vision Zero is a proven, successful method of making our streets safer with the goal of eliminating all fatal and serious injury traffic crashes. Endorsed by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), funding has been allocated to more than 1,000 communities across all 50 states to develop Vision Zero programs.

Vision Zero is based on the Safe System Approach, which follows several guiding principles to provide a holistic safety approach for all forms of transportation. Vision Zero incorporates proactive, preventative improvements to roadway design and focuses on enhancing safety for all road users.

Vision Zero helps us identify problems and set a path towards reducing the loss of precious lives and the associated costs to our community.

We want to hear your ideas for how to make Leavenworth Country streets safer for all road users.
