EUGENE VISION ZERO This Plan is Eugene's The Vision Zero Resolution was adopted by Eugene City Council after members of the community raised awareness of the toll that traffic crashes can take on members of our community, their families and friends. They asked the City Council to strongly articulate that no traffic deaths or serious injuries are acceptable in our city. The Vision Zero Resolution specifically directed the City Manager to convene a Task Force to develop a Vision Zero Action Plan. This plan was guided by a Task Force of city leaders and community partners who care deeply about the safety of Eugene residents on ou r streets. The Task Force met throughout the development of this plan, offering thoughtful, critical feedback about its di rection from the perspective of advocates, implementers and those whose lives have been changed by traffic crashes . Achieving Vision Zero will take the whole community to be conscious of their individual actions and the influence we have on each other. The Vision Zero Action Plan was collaboratively developed by members of the Eugene community. Opportunities for engagement included: · Six Vision Zero Task Force Meetings · Five Vision Zero Technical Advisory Committee Meetings · Vision Zero webpages, https://www.eugene-or.gov/VisionZero, that included Task Force meeting materials and the draft Vision Zero Action Plan · A public open house for review and comment on the draft Action Plan · A focus group aimed to elevate Communities of Concern · Presentations at Neighborhood Association Meetings · Tabling at community events · Eugene City Council presentation Through these public involvement activities, the City provided community members with a variety of forums to share their concerns and identify priorities for transportation safety. Moving forward, this plan will remain Eugene's. Eugenians will shape what Vision Zero looks like in their community. Residents and the traffic safety behavior they model for others will continue to play a critical role in reaching Vision Zero . In order to reach Vision Zero, we must all lead by example by being respectful and considerate users of our transportation system. The City of Eugene will partner with other agencies and our community to reach Vision Zero. You are important to helping Eugene end traffic deaths and life-changing injur ies on our streets.
