GLOSSARY GLOSSARY OF TERMSOF TERMS Vision Zero Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries in the road system. This was first implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, has become standard and successful across Europe, and has begun to spread across the world. Vision Zero reframes traffic safety, from severe car crashes being inevitable accidents that are part of modern living to being preventable crashes to be prevented in as many ways as possible to save lives. Vision Zero acknowledges human error, systems over individual responsibility, and that saving lives is not expensive. Safe System Approach The Safe System Approach is a framework to address roadway safety that has been adopted by the US Department of Transportation. It builds multiple layers of protection for road users to both prevent crashes and mitigate the harm caused in crashes. KSI Crash KSI Crashes are crashes where a victim is killed (K) or severely injured (SI). Proven Safety Countermeasures The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has identified 28 countermeasures and strategies with proven effectiveness in reducing crash rates and/or crash severity. These are context- and user-specific but can make significant improvements to the safety of a road system when applied broadly. Complete Streets Complete Streets are streets designed to safely support all road users. This applies to both all modes of travel and also all abilities of the road users, including people with disabilities, children and seniors, and more. Complete Streets require varying degrees of intervention depending on the context, both in terms of land use and in terms of traffic volumes and speeds. Environmental Justice Environmental Justice is, as defined by the EPA, “the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of environmental laws, regulations, and policies.” High-Injury Network Vision Zero Action Plans idenfity a High-Injury Network (HIN), the roadways in a municipality or city's road system with the highest prevalence of crashes or greatest crash severity. Actions to address these issues are concentrated on the HIN. Vulnerable Road Users Certain Users of the road system are those not protected inside a vehicle when using the road system. This includes

Actions to address these issues are concentrated on the HIN. Vulnerable Road Users Certain Users of the road system are those not protected inside a vehicle when using the road system. This includes pedestrians, cyclists, skateboarders, rollerskaters and more. 11
