Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate traffic fatalities and to promote equitable mobility options for all road users. Using a nationally representative survey, we aimed to estimate the prevalence of Vision Zero action plans or strategies in the USA.
Municipal officials were surveyed in 2021. In this cross-sectional study, we calculated the prevalence of Vision Zero plans or strategies and compared municipalities with adjusted prevalence ratios (PR) to account for region and sociodemographic characteristics.
Among 1955 municipalities participating in the survey (question-specific response rate: 44.3%), the prevalence of a Vision Zero action plan or strategy was 7.7%; 70.5% responded and 21.8% . Prevalence was 4.8% in small municipalities (1000-2499 residents), 20.3% in medium-large municipalities (50 000-124 999 residents; PR=4.1), and 37.8% in large municipalities (≥125 000 residents; PR=7.6).
The prevalence of Vision Zero plans and strategies across the USA is low. Additional adoption of Vision Zero plans and strategies could help address traffic fatalities.
“零愿景”（Vision Zero）是一项旨在消除交通死亡事故并为所有道路使用者提供公平出行选择的战略。本研究使用全国代表性调查，旨在评估美国实施“零愿景”行动计划或策略的情况。
于 2021 年对市政官员进行调查。在这项横断面研究中，我们计算了“零愿景”计划或策略的流行率，并比较了考虑到地区和社会人口特征的调整后流行率比（PR）。
在参与调查的 1955 个城市中（问题特异性应答率：44.3%），“零愿景”行动计划或策略的流行率为 7.7%；70.5%的城市作出回应，21.8%的城市未回应。小城镇居民（1000-2499 名居民）中该策略的流行率为 4.8%，中大型城镇居民（50000-124999 名居民；PR=4.1）为 20.3%，大型城镇居民（≥125000 名居民；PR=7.6）为 37.8%。
美国“零愿景”计划和策略的流行率较低。更多地采用“零愿景”计划和策略可能有助于解决交通死亡事故问题。
