ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER NO. 58-19-04 <br />of the City Manager <br />City of Eugene, Oregon <br />ADOPTING EUGENE'S VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN. <br />The City Manager of the City of Eugene finds that: <br />A. Pursuant to the Eugene Charter of 2002, the City Manager is the administrative head <br />of the City of Eugene. As such, the City Manager has the authority and responsibility to approve <br />and direct action that implements Council-adopted policies. <br />B. From 2007 to 2015, 60 people were killed and 364 people experienced life-changing <br />injuries as the result of crashes on Eugene's transportation system. Nearly half of those incidents <br />occurred while the persons were walking, biking or riding a motorcycle, even though these modes <br />make up less than 20 percent of trips in Eugene. <br />C. On November 18, 2015, the Eugene City Council adopted Resolution No. 5143 <br />setting as official policy the Vision Zero approach to transportation safety with the goal of <br />eliminating deaths and serious injuries on Eugene 's transportation system. That Resolution also <br />directed the City Manager to initiate the formation of a Vision Zero Task Force to develop a Vision <br />Action Plan. <br />D. The Vision Zero Action Plan attached as Exhibit A to this Order, was developed after <br />the Vision Zero Task Force and Technical Advisory Committee studied the factors contributing to <br />traffic crashes in Eugene, and after input from community advocates, policy makers, and <br />transportation, public health and law enforcement professionals. <br />E. The Vision Zero Action Plan is not a regulatory plan, nor is it a capital improvement <br />plan. It is intended to serve as a guide and provide direction for City staff, community members, <br />and organizations as they jointly work toward accomplishing the goal of zero fatalities or serious <br />injuries on Eugene's transportation system. <br />Based on the above findings, the City Manager of the City of Eugene Orders that the <br />Vision Zero Action Plan attached as Exhibit A to this Order is adopted as a guide for action to reach <br />the goal of zero deaths and life-changing injuries on Eugene's transportation system by 2035. It does <br />not, however, obligate the City or any other entity to implement any action for which funds have <br />not been previously budgeted. <br />Dated and effective this Z.o/mtJ ay of March, 2019. <br />JonR.Ruiz ~ <br />City Manager <br />Administrative Order -Page 1 of 1
