In 2015, Mayor Eric Garcetti announced an ambitious goal for a city where speeding and distracted driving are common: Within a decade, Los Angeles would eliminate traffic deaths on city streets. Since then, fatal car crashes have risen 32%.
Vision Zero has worked in Europe, where it began in Sweden two decades ago, and in New York City, where fatalities have fallen to
But Vision Zero has not reduced fatalities enough to meet its early benchmarks, including the 20% reduction in deaths that the city should have achieved in 2017. Without a greater sense of urgency among drivers and elected officials, advocates say, Los Angeles will not come close to eliminating traffic deaths by 2025.
But 2016 was also the deadliest year in recorded history for traffic crashes, and by December of that year, Vision Zero had been in place for 18 months. Some advocates have questioned question whether it should count as the baseline year.“In 2016, deaths went up a lot and they moved the goalposts,” MacDonald said. “You need to see significant declines every year to meet the goal.
“We are headed in the right direction,” said Daniel Samaro, a senior engineer with the city’s Vision Zero program. “We are working in the right places. We will get back on track.”
