Vision Zero Danville 

Vision Zero is a strategic commitment to eliminate all traffic fatalities and serious injuries driven by the principle that everyone has the right to move safely in their community. Originating in Sweden during the 1990’s, and now adopted globally by numerous cities, Vision Zero embraces the Safe System Approach and the principle that no loss of life is acceptable on our transportation network.

Through the Safe Streets and Roads for All Program (SS4A), and in coordination with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Office of Highway Safety Improvement program, the City of Danville is aiming to become part of the Vision Zero Network (Find other Vision Zero Communities) and has developed at safety action plan with the goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries in the City of Danville by 2050.

Public Engagement - During a public forum/open house on January 31, 2024, some of the US Department of Transportation's Proven Safety Countermeasures were displayed as examples of projects that have been completed to relieve driver and pedestrian injuries and fatalities. Engineers and state or local road departments will often look at these as examples in order to build safety plans that fit their communities, and to receive funding for projects that require certain research-based criteria. When gathering data in Danville, The City Engineer and Public Works department will rely heavily on this research, public input, and the most-recent local crash data to craft and implement roadway safety measures.

Citizens were asked to complete a survey to inform the City Engineer and partners about areas of concern on Danville's roadways. This information was collected and analyzed to assist in the drafting of the 2024 Safety Action Plan. The survey has now closed.  

More Vision Zero Danville Public Meetings can be expected.
