About

The County of Marin Vision Zero Action Plan is an important milestone in Unincorporated County’s commitment to safer streets for everyone.

With this plan, we commit to Vision Zero, a goal of reaching zero fatalities and serious injuries on local roadways.

A Vision Zero Action Plan is an analysis and strategy document that provides us with a clear path forward to improve roadway safety.

Vision Zero is a strategy to improve the safety of our roadways and prevent traffic-related deaths and serious injuries. It emphasizes proactive and preventive actions to design and plan our roadways to prioritize safety. We all make mistakes as we walk, bicycle, and drive from place to place, and those mistakes should not lead to loss of life or serious injury.

The County of Marin joins a growing network of communities in the Bay Area and across the nation that are committed to eliminating fatal and serious injury collisions.

The Vision Zero Action Plan is an analysis and strategy document that provides a clear path forward to improve road safety by identifying key safety challenges and ways to address them. Key elements of the Plan and its development process include:

Safety Corridors

Corridors with the highest concentrations of fatalities and serious injuries for targeted investment.

Countermeasure Toolbox

A toolbox of infrastructure strategies and supporting programs and policies to improve safety in the County of Marin’s unique roadway context.

Priority Projects

A set of safety projects and initiatives to prioritize for implementation across the County of Marin, and a data-driven decision-making framework to inform future project selection.

“Safety First” Culture

Collaboration with the community and stakeholders to build a culture that prioritizes safety in transportation decisions.

Community input is critical to the success of Vision Zero. Residents, business owners, employees, and visitors can participate in the process through in-person public events, online surveys, and public Board of Supervisors meetings. Your voice will help identify safety concerns and shape solutions.

See the Participate section above for more information on upcoming events.

Safer streets separate roadway users in space and time to reduce the likelihood of collisions. They also slow vehicle speeds to reduce the severity of collisions when they do happen.

Before: A typical intersection before improvements to make safer streets for everyone.
