 April is distracted driving awareness month: At least 1 in 5 crashes in Arlington is related to distraction, but it's not always someone on their phone. Factors like adjusting vehicle settings, passengers, sun glare, eating, and operating GPS have all led to severe crashes. Remember that it's okay to pull over to pause rather than risk someone's life.

Earlier this April, we published the Annual (2023) Vision Zero Progress Report (Español) detailing the progress that Arlington County made on the 90+ action items set forth in Arlington’s Vision Zero Action Plan. The following infographic provides an overview of these activities in 2023.
The Vision Zero team will be presenting a progress update during the next Transportation Commision Meeting on Thursday, May 30 from 7:00-9:00 PM. The presentation will cover the content in the Annual Report, as well as findings from the Annual Safety Feedback Engagement.
