Abstract

Background: 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.

Methods: 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.

Results: 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 no and 21.8% don't know. 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).

Conclusion: 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.

零视觉行动计划或战略的普及率：美国，2021 年。

背景：零伤亡愿景 "是一项旨在消除交通死亡事故、促进所有道路使用者公平出行的战略。通过一项具有全国代表性的调查，我们旨在估算 "零愿景 "行动计划或战略在美国的普及程度：方法：在 2021 年对市政官员进行了调查。在这项横断面研究中，我们计算了 "零愿景 "计划或战略的普及率，并根据地区和社会人口特征调整了普及率（PR），对各城市进行了比较：在参与调查的 1955 个城市中（具体问题回复率：44.3%），"零愿景 "行动计划或战略的普及率为 7.7%；70.5% 回答 "否"，21.8% 回答 "不知道"。在小型城市（1000-2499 名居民）中，普及率为 4.8%；在中大型城市（50 000-124999 名居民；PR=4.1）中，普及率为 20.3%；在大型城市（≥125000 名居民；PR=7.6）中，普及率为 37.8%：结论："零愿景 "计划和战略在美国的普及率较低。结论："零伤亡愿景 "计划和战略在美国的普及率较低。
