Between 2008 and 2017, nearly 100 people were killed in traffic crashes in Jersey City, with pedestrians accounting for nearly half of all fatal victims. In 2022, it had zero traffic-related fatalities at press time. What changed? The city's adoption of Vision Zero, a global campaign that aims to eliminate traffic-related deaths and injuries. 'The progress is clear,' Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop says. 'Vision Zero is impactful and can save lives.' The Vision Zero task force collaborates with residents to create plans that aim to improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists and motorists.
