Vision Zero means zero traffic deaths and serious injuries on North Dakota roads. This statewide initiative is a shared commitment to prevent crashes, reduce injuries and save lives.
Reaching zero does not rely on a single solution or group. It requires a Safe System Approach that works to prevent crashes from happening and minimizes harm when they do occur.
A Shared Responsibility
Reaching zero requires action across the entire transportation system, from roadway design to the everyday choices made by road users. When it comes to the lives of your family, friends and neighbors, every choice matters.
