The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) announced that it is holding 10 public events spanning all eight wards to kick-off public engagement for Vision Zero, an initiative to eliminate all deaths and serious injuries to users of the District’s transportation system by 2024.
3 of these events have already happened, but there are seven more still to occur, including one tonight in Takoma.
In addition to attending events, one can get involved by using the interactive Vision Zero map.
Am I the only one who is extremely cynical about this? Properly implemented, Vision Zero takes a great deal of political courage and will-power in order to disrupt the motor-centric status quo. I really don't think this will actually move beyond the "awareness campaign" and "ticket jaywalkers" phase.
