Parachute Vision Zero Canadian Landscape 3.0 report

In 2019, Parachute published the Vision Zero Canadian Landscape 2.0, which profiled 24 jurisdictions. This included reviewing the status of all jurisdictions in the process of considering, adopting or implementing Vision Zero; presenting the key features of their programs, using a consistent framework of the five (now six as of 2022) Es of traffic safety; and discussing the successes and challenges faced by these programs with key stakeholders, as well as any advice they have for jurisdictions contemplating formal adoption.

The Vision Zero Canadian Landscape 3.0 report revisits these jurisdictions and profiles new areas that have adopting or are in the process of adopting Vision Zero, profiling 34 jurisdictions, including interviews with 12 stakeholders. This focus is responsive to earlier feedback from our Parachute Vision Zero Network stakeholders, who had requested a better understanding of how to approach Vision Zero, and the facilitators and barriers to embracing a systems approach to increase road safety and end road fatalities and serious injuries.

It's our hope that this report will illuminate the successes and challenges faced by programs at different stages of Vision Zero adoption, implementation and evaluation, and provide relevant insights from the frontlines.
