BACKGROUND AND CONTEXT*
The Triangle West Transportation Planning Organization (TWTPO) was awarded funding in 2023 to develop a regional Vision Zero Action Plan. Town staff participated in the Plan’s development and will use this plan for the basis of a Safe Streets for All Implementation Grant application in June 2025. The Plan contains recommendations for programs and policies aimed at creating a culture of roadway safety in the region. The Plan also includes infrastructure recommendations targeting the most dangerous roads to eliminate serious injuries and deaths in Chapel Hill and throughout the region. The Vision Zero Action Plan Executive Summary provides highlights of the Plan including:
• Roadway Safety Vision
• Regional Crash Summary
• Focus areas and priority safety projects based on crash history and risk
• Town-wide strategies and actions
The attached Executive Summary also provides additional information, and the full plan can be found at the link here: TWTPO Vision Zero Action Plan <https://www.dchcmpo.org/home/showpublisheddocument/4678/638815185815170000>
NEXT STEPS
The TWTPO Board adopted the Plan on April 22, 2025, and Town staff will bring it to Town Council for adoption on June 11th, 2025. Town staff anticipate submitting a SS4A Implementation Grant application by the June 26th deadline, and adoption of the Vision Zero Action Plan is required to submit.
