Read the Draft Vision Zero Action Plan Recommendations Here

These draft recommendations are based on best practices from around the country and fine tuned to Stamford's unique roadway and neighborhood make up. The draft recommendations are aligned with the feedback we've received from residents over the past several months at our many community engagement sessions. We'll be hosting future events for the public to come and talk with the Vision Zero Team about the draft recommendations.

We encourage the public to reach out to us and provide comments on the draft recommendations as we work towards the final recommendations. 

The City of Stamford has initiated a Vision Zero Action Plan to eliminate roadway fatalities by 2032.

The Action Plan will put forth prioritized strategies for advancing roadway Quick-Build and capital projects, and other strategic initiatives for reaching this goal. Public engagement for the Plan will commence in April, and includes “Feet on the Street” pop-up events throughout the city, a kick-off public workshop, a demonstration project, and more! The Plan is set to be finished and adopted in early 2025, with the city rolling right into implementation. The project team is currently in the existing conditions analysis phase of the plan, closely analyzing existing plans, policies, and crash data to set the foundation for community discussions.

We invite you to give the team your initial thoughts on traffic safety in Stamford via the Map with Us! link above, and check out the Join Us! link to get those initial public engagements on your calendar. Registration for the large public engagement events will be encouraged.

Stamford’s High Injury Network

The High Injury Network is a set of corridors and intersections in Stamford with the highest numbers of crashes resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. These locations will be prioritized for targeted projects and strategies to reduce these crashes.

The HIN was developed based on locations with history of severe and fatal crashes, locations with a history of bicycle & pedestrian crashes, as well as roadway & intersection characteristics (street type and signalization). 
The analysis shows three tiers of priority locations.

• Tier 1 captures 41% of severe and fatal crashes on just 3% of intersections and 4% of roadway miles.
• Tiers 1-3 capture 59% of severe and fatal crash on just 6% of intersections and 15% of roadway miles.
