Vision Zero is a national strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. In 2019, the Texas Transportation Commission set an objective for TxDOT to end all fatalities on Texas roads by 2050. The commission also set a goal of cutting fatal crashes in half by 2035, which would reduce annual fatalities to about 1,800. Since 2017, accidents involving serious injuries have remained relatively stagnant, while accidents involving fatalities dipped, then returned to one of the highest in the last near-decade.

Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, while increasing safe, healthy, equitable mobility for all. San Antonio City Council adopted Vision Zero in 2015.
After 12 years of driving progress toward a shared community vision, SA2020, the nonprofit organization, is dissolving. We believe this is the most visionary thing we can do. We made this decision with the greatest care for our organizational values of leadership, community, and accountability, and we hope you’ll read more about it on our blog.
Our website is live with our final data release, showing where San Antonio stands on reaching the shared community vision. The data release is accompanied by our final call to action—a policy agenda for City government based on our unique bird’s-eye view of San Antonio.
While SA2020’s operations ended March 28, these resources, along with the last twelve years of our research and stories, will be available to download from our website through September 2024.
