Vision Zero is a nation-wide initiative to systematically reduce traffic fatalities to zero under the belief that fatal crashes are a preventable and can be made impossible through a safe system approach. The City of Pittsburgh adopted a Vision Zero approach in March of 2024 when City Council passed a resolution on the initiative. 

“We have an excellent team at the Department of Mobility and Infrastructure. They’re working to systematically reduce traffic fatalities to zero, but we can’t do it without the help and support of all road-users. Roadway safety, like most things, is a shared responsibility and I believe that together we can make Pittsburgh the safest City in America,” said Mayor Ed Gainey. 

As part of the Vision Zero initiative, the City established a project team consisting of several working groups focusing on everything from engagement to fatal-crash response as well as a High Injury Network detailing where serious and fatal crashes have happened on our roadways.   

In addition to general information about the City of Pittsburgh’s Vision Zero initiative, the Engage Page hosts the High Injury Network Interactive Map as well as links to relevant Engage Pages for projects and work that are directly linked into Pittsburgh’s vision of zero traffic deaths.
