What is Vision Zero ?
Vision Zero is the City of McAllen’s safety action plan to help reduce severe injuries and fatalities on City of McAllen roadways to ZERO. The plan, which was awarded through the U.S. Department of Transportation Safe Streets and Road for All grant program, focuses on ensuring safe, healthy and equitable mobility for all.
Additionally, the plan discusses in detail strategies that will emphasize the shared responsibility of various stakeholders including government agencies, transportation planners, law enforcement, individuals, and community organizations to create safer streets and promote sustainable transportation options.
The plan further identifies areas where McAllen can make future improvements to protect bicyclist, pedestrian and vehicular traffic through safer street design, targeted law enforcement public engagement or evidence-base public policy to ensure McAllen’s streets are safe for everyone.
The Final Vision Zero Plan was adopted at the August 26, 2024 City Commission Meeting. Additional questions or comments on the plan can be submitted to the Traffic Operations Department at traffic@mcallen.net or at (956) 681-2715
