The article discusses the ongoing struggle of U.S. cities to achieve Vision Zero, which aims to eliminate road fatalities. David Harkey from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety suggests pivoting to a more achievable goal of reducing deaths by 30% by 2030. He reflects on the significant increase in road fatalities from 2014 to 2021 and argues for a strategic reset, emphasizing the need for actionable strategies that can lead to substantial improvements in road safety.
"Vision Zero seems like little more than a noble idea in the United States... various forms of Vision Zero that have been around haven't moved the needle."
"We hit a low point in fatalities in this country in 2014: we were just under 33,000 fatalities. Then in 2021, it was around 43,000."
