Every three years, the city releases a Safe Streets Report that provides an overview of the city’s efforts to continuously improve transportation safety by measuring traffic crash data, identifying trends in crashes, and evaluating past safety improvement efforts. The Safe Streets Report’s evaluation is followed by a Vision Zero Action Plan, which identifies strategies to address safety issues found in the Safe Streets Report.

The Action Plan will evaluate traffic safety and crash risk across the entire transportation system and predict where crashes are more likely to occur. The analysis incorporates historical crash data with roadway risk factors such as vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, land uses, and proximity to vulnerable users to isolate locations that may not have experienced a high rate of fatal and serious injury crashes to date but that may in the future. This approach will allow the city to be more proactive in identifying and prioritizing safety projects rather than just relying on data about where crashes have already occurred.

Vision Zero was adopted as part of the city’s Transportation Master Plan in 2014 and is Boulder’s goal to reduce the number of traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries to zero.
