Mountain View Vision Zero is preparing outreach and

 engagement strategies to cultivate a culture of active transportation in Mountain View - biking, walking and other alternatives to driving. Our public awareness campaigns will encourage safer and slower driving, and increase awareness among all road users to prevent traffic injuries and deaths.

The initial Vision Zero campaign launched in August, 2024, in time for back-to-school. Read the December 4, 2023 news story in the Mountain View Voice and view examples of Vision Zero campaigns from other agencies including VTA, San Jose, and San Francisco. 

Drive Wisely in School Zones

The Safe Routes to School page helps kids and families to learn how to walk and roll safely. If you must drive, ensure a safe Drop Off/Pick Up environment at your local school.

Vision Zero Action Plan and Local Road Safety Plan

The City is currently developing an integrated Vision Zero Action Plan and Local Road Safety Plan. This Plan is focused on eliminating fatal traffic crashes that affect everyone, including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders. The action plan analyzes historic crash data, compiles proven countermeasures, identifies and prioritizes projects, and recommends safety projects for implementation.

In addition to engineering/infrastructure improvements, the Vision Zero approach encompasses the 7E's:

Mountain View's City Council adopted the Vision Zero Action Plan on September 10, 2024. The public has access to all City Council and Committee meetings which are open for public comment. The public has access to agendas, reports, attachments, and past meeting videos on MountainView.Legistar.com
or at YouTube.com/@MountainViewGov.
City Council meetings are also broadcast on Comcast Channel 26.
