""It's a tremendous win,""
""I can no longer say that somebody dies on our streets every week in San Jose.""
""It's still not zero,""
""Combined, it seems these efforts and the public's receptiveness have started to turn the tide,""
San Jose recorded 41 traffic deaths in 2025, a 16% decline from 49 deaths in 2024 and the lowest total since 2012. Fatalities peaked at 63 in 2022, making 2024–2025 consecutive years of decline. The city launched Vision Zero ten years ago to eliminate road deaths within 15 years through roadway improvements and behavioral campaigns. Officials used quick-build materials to alter lane configurations, add buffers for cyclists and pedestrians, and received $12.9 million in 2023 for safety upgrades on four transit corridors. Additional projects targeted Senter Road and the Story Road–Keyes Street corridor. The city also ran the Slow Down, San Jose campaign and reduced posted speed limits on 18 roadways.
