Vision Zero Road Safety Framework

The City of Regina is developing a new Framework to improve safety for all road users in Regina, including pedestrians, drivers and cyclists, over the next five years. Vision Zero is a concept that uses a data-driven and safe systems approach to improve traffic safety in the community, with a goal of eliminating all injury and fatality collisions on our transportation network.

A safe systems approach provides an integrated, comprehensive process to improve the safety of our transportation systems. This can be achieved through employing safe land-use planning, safe road design, safe speeds, safe users and post-crash care.

A review of collision data over a 5-year period was conducted as a foundation in the development of the Framework. By looking at common collision factors of resulting in injury and fatalities, five focus areas were identified for Regina’s Framework.

Residents are invited to visit one of four pop-up information booths to learn about the Vision Zero concept, the Framework Development process, and components of the action plan including key focus areas.

Following these outreach opportunities, input gathered will be reviewed together with collision data analysis, technical expertise and stakeholder feedback as the Framework is finalized.

The data-driven Framework, which includes an action plan with key focus areas, will serve as a roadmap for road-safety initiatives, programs and collaboration points with our community partners and stakeholders over the next five years. The Framework will be brought forward to City Council in spring of 2024 for review and approval.
