Looking to end the constant traffic violence in our streets

About Vision Zero

 Vision Zero is a street safety program which originally began in Sweden. Its goal is to reduce traffic deaths and serious injuries to zero. Following cities around the world, NYC instituted Vision Zero in 2014, improving street design and implementing and enforcing better laws that have saved many lives.

About the Youth Council

We are a student-led group that works with local schools, organizations, and elected officials in the fight for street safety. VZYC was created with support from NYC's  Department of Transportation and
 Transportation Alternatives, the city's foremost pedestrian activist organization.

Get Involved With VZYC

We are based in NYC, and have monthly meetings in lower manhattan, and will often have them in other locations around the city. These meetings are open for anyone to join, and if you want to be even more involved, sign up for updates.
