PHILADELPHIA —  Philly Stat 360 and the City’s Vision Zero program recently launched a new Vision Zero dashboard, showing how the City of Philadelphia is working to reduce traffic deaths across the city and makes our roads safer.

In Philadelphia, 80 percent of traffic deaths and serious injuries occurred on just 12 percent of streets. These streets, called the “High Injury Network,” are being targeted by Vision Zero for strategic investments to reduce accidents, injuries, and deaths.

Vision Zero, a collaborative initiative led by the City’s Office of Transportation and Infrastructure Systems and the Office of Multimodal Planning, uses a comprehensive “Safe System” approach to traffic safety that focuses on making our streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and vehicles.

The new Vision Zero dashboard shows the work the City of Philadelphia and partners have undertaken to make our streets safer and includes interactives maps of:

  • Total installed traffic calming devices
  • All projects on the High Injury Network
  • Serious or fatal crashes in 2023

High injury network projects have reduced deaths and serious injuries across the city. For example, since speed cameras were installed on the Roosevelt Boulevard in 2020, speeding violations have decreased by over 95 percent, fatal and serious injury crashes have decreased 21 percent, and crashes involving pedestrians have decreased 50 percent. In areas with Complete Streets projects, there have been 34 percent fewer fatal and serious injury crashes, and 20 percent fewer total crashes causing injury.

“The Vision Zero dashboard shows how the Parker Administration is committed to using data to drive change, holding ourselves accountable to reduce traffic deaths and injuries in Philadelphia, and ensuring that every decision is informed by the most accurate, up-to-date information to make the city safer for everyone,” said Kristin Bray, Director, Philly Stat 360. “Any traffic injury is one too many, and we will continue supporting Vision Zero initiatives to use data to make Philadelphia safer, cleaner, and greener, with economic opportunity for all Philadelphians.”

This release of the Vision Zero dashboard Philly Stat 360’s launch of the Kensington Community Revival Dashboard and Mayor Parker’s First Year in Office Report last month. In addition, the main Philly Stat 360 hub page continues to be updated regularly with the latest city data.
