PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Dinuba is developing a Vision Zero Action Plan. This Plan will guide policies and programs with the goal of eliminating traffic crashes that result in fatalities and severe injuries along Dinuba's roadways. The City of Dinuba Vision Zero initiative strives to improve safety for everyone traveling around the city, whether walking, cycling, driving, or riding public transit, and to improve the identified high-crash injury locations. The Vision Zero Action Plan sets an ambitious long-term goal to prioritize safety along Dinuba's roadways with Vision Zero programs and incorporate a multidisciplinary Safe System approach.
The Safe System approach to Vision Zero is a holistic strategy that designs roadways, policies, and transportation systems to prioritize the safety of all users—drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians—by anticipating human error and minimizing the risk of serious collisions through safer road designs, reduced speeds, and enhanced protections.​
This approach to safety couples education, data-driven decision-making, and community engagement with context-sensitive, people-centric street designs that account for human error, promote slower speeds and improve mobility for all users. With the Vision Zero approach, the City of Dinuba and residents work together to make roadways safer.
HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO YOU?
Across the nation, nearly 42,000 people are killed each year on various roadways. In order to address this issue in Dinuba, we must individually/collectively make changes in our attitudes, expectations, and approach to transportation safety.

GOALS
-
Eliminate all fatal and severe injury traffic crashes in Dinuba.
-
Adopt a Safe Systems approach to transportation planning and road design that considers the safety needs of all users – pedestrians, cyclists, transit riders, and motorists – regardless of age, ability or identity.
-
Use equitable engineering solutions and infrastructure improvements to enhance safety across all neighborhoods.
-
Expand enforcement efforts, educational programs, and policies aimed at unsafe driving behaviors that are leading causes of crashes and injuries.
VISION ZERO
WHAT IS VISION ZERO?
Beginning in 1997, Vision Zero is an international effort to eliminate all fatal and serious injury traffic crashes. Adopted by more than 50 communities across the United States, it is a belief that these crashes are preventable and that changed attitudes and approaches will enable success.
​
Vision Zero is based on five key principles:
​
-
Traffic deaths and severe injuries are preventable.
-
Human life and health are prioritized within all aspects of transportation systems.
-
Human error is inevitable, and transportation systems should be forgiving.
-
Safety work should focus on systems-level change above influencing individual behavior.
-
Speed is recognized as the fundamental factor in crash severity.
​
The video below explains the overall Vision Zero Approach, its objectives, and how it brings together different stakeholders that range from City Departments, residents, and other roadway users.

VISION ZERO ACTION PLAN
The Dinuba Vision Zero Action Plan will guide policies and programs with the goal of eliminating fatalities and severe injuries on local roadways. The Plan focuses on providing near term recommendations to rapidly implement safety improvements and begin the systemic changes needed to fully realize Vision Zero. Many recommended engineering treatments, enforcement directives and educational programs can be rolled out quickly over the first year. Dinuba understands that fundamentally improving traffic safety will require a generational commitment to changing culture, infrastructure and mobility planning. With sustained vision and dedication to protecting human life as the top priority, the City believes its ambitious goal of zero severe injuries and death due to preventable crashes can become a reality over the next decade. This Action Plan provides the comprehensive roadmap to get Dinuba to zero.
The City of Dinuba Vision Zero Action Plan will be available here shortly
