Greensboro
Similar to other municipalities in NC, Greensboro experienced a jump in road fatalities in 2017, prompting the city council to pass a Vision Zero resolution in March 2018 followed by the development of a 2-year Vision Zero Action Plan. Staff, along with both public and private stakeholders, are working to carry out the strategies outlined in the plan as well as continuing creative public engagement strategies. In addition to their partnership in the North Carolina Vision Zero initiative, Greensboro takes part in the FHWA Community Pairing Program to share information and best practices, assess strategies and actions, and forge beneficial learning relationships among Vision Zero peers in New York and California.
