Vision Zero Action Plan
Transportation safety is an essential focus of the Boston Region MPO and one of the major goals identified in the MPO’s Long-Range Transportation Plan, Destination 2050. The Vision Zero Action Plan will address the safety-related needs identified in Destination 2050 and serve as a roadmap for the 97 communities in the region to implement projects that align with the goals of Vision Zero. The Action Plan will help identify transportation safety issues through a data-driven and community-based approach.
The draft Action Plan has been released for public comment. The 30-day public review period began on June 26, 2025, and concludes at 5:00 PM on Sunday, July 27, 2025. If you would like to submit feedback on the draft document, please email visionzero@ctps.org. All comments will be shared with the MPO board at the end of the public review period.

What is Vision Zero?
Vision Zero is an internationally recognized strategy to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways by instituting policies that encourage safe, healthy, and equitable mobility for all road users.
This work is funded by a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) planning grant from the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT). The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law established the new SS4A discretionary program, with $5 billion in appropriated funds to be distributed over five years (FFYs 2022–26). The Boston Region MPO was awarded $2.16 million from USDOT and received 20 percent matching funds from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, bringing the total grant amount to $2.7 million.
In addition to setting a path for the region to work towards zero deaths and serious injuries on our roads, the Action Plan will unlock future funding opportunities for communities through the SS4A Grant Program.
