Vision Zero Program Distinction

Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all.

Based on recent CT Legislation Public Act 23-116, a Vision Zero Program Distinction for Schools is available for districts who have provided their students with educational opportunities to learn about the mission of Vision Zero, the importance of practicing safe driving habits, and/or learning pedestrian safety skills. These districts are eligible to apply for Vision Zero Program Distinction in the Spring of each year to be awarded the following Fall.

The goal of the Program Distinction is to acknowledge the efforts of the students, teachers, administration, and community members towards the mission of the Vision Zero Council and for making active transportation safer, more accessible, and more sustainable for their schools as well as encourage other school districts to follow the Vision Zero mission in their own communities.
