Vision Zero aims to eliminate serious and fatal road injuries using a Safe System approach. Safe System principles establish that safety is a shared responsibility; this involves both multisector partners and community engagement. This descriptive study explored multisector partners and community engagement in the development of municipal Vision Zero plans.
We reviewed all first edition Vision Zero plans published by US municipalities from 2014 to 2022. Using a structured coding tool, we abstracted partner involvement and community engagement strategies used in the development of Vision Zero plans.
We identified, reviewed and abstracted 64 plans. The average number of partner groups per plan was 11.5 (12.0 for municipalities with a population ≥150 000; 10.1 for municipalities <150 000) and was higher for later plans (11.9 for plans published 2019-2022; 10.0 for plans published 2014-2018). Common partner groups engaged in the plan were law enforcement (85.9% of plans), local transportation planning (78.3%), mayor/city council/city manager (78.1%), engineering/public works (78.1%) and schools (73.4%). Community engagement strategies were reported in 71.9% of the plans and were more frequent among municipalities with a population ≥150 000 (76.1%) compared with a population <150 000 (61.1%), and in those with more recent plans (82.1%) versus earlier ones (56.0%). The most common community engagement strategies were public meetings, online surveys and map mark-ups.
These findings highlight the extent to which Vision Zero plans were aligned with core Safe System tenets regarding diverse partner involvement and community engagement. Plan developers should consider the translation of Safe System principles in Vision Zero plan development.
“零愿景”旨在采用安全系统方法消除严重和致命的道路伤害。安全系统原则规定，安全是一项共同责任；这涉及多部门合作伙伴和社区参与。这项描述性研究探讨了多部门合作伙伴以及社区参与城市“零愿景”计划制定的情况。
我们回顾了2014年至2022年美国各城市发布的所有第一版“零愿景”计划。使用结构化编码工具，我们提取了“零愿景”计划制定过程中合作伙伴的参与情况和社区参与策略。
我们识别、回顾并提取了64项计划。每项计划的合作伙伴团体平均数量为11.5个（人口≥15万的城市为12.0个；人口<15万的城市为10.1个），后期计划的该数字更高（2019 - 2022年发布的计划为11.9个；2014 - 2018年发布的计划为10.0个）。参与计划的常见合作伙伴团体包括执法部门（85.9%的计划）、地方交通规划部门（78.3%）、市长/市议会/城市经理（78.1%）、工程/公共工程部门（78.1%）和学校（73.4%）。71.9%的计划报告了社区参与策略，与人口<15万的城市（61.1%）相比，人口≥15万的城市中该策略更常见（76.1%），近期计划（82.1%）比早期计划（56.0%）更常见。最常见的社区参与策略是公众会议、在线调查和地图标注。
这些发现突出了“零愿景”计划在不同合作伙伴参与和社区参与方面与安全系统核心原则的契合程度。计划制定者在“零愿景”计划制定过程中应考虑安全系统原则的转化。
