Always put Safety First! Thank you to our partners for sharing safety tips to remember while out on Halloween.
 The City of Charlotte is renewing its commitment to safer streets in 2018 with the creation of Vision Zero, an action plan designed to reduce crashes and eliminate traffic-related deaths and severe injuries by 2030. Why? Because even one traffic-related death is too many.
We want to hear from you! Check out the interactive map and put a pin on it to tell us about your experiences on Charlotte’s streets whether driving, cycling or walking, and help inform the Vision Zero action plan.
Visit CharlotteNC.gov/VisionZero to access the map and to learn more.
