ACTIONS TO ACHIEVE VISION ZERO
LOS ANGELES
Partnerships
A Task Force composed of city agency and stakeholder
representatives will also be formed to focus on
engineering, education, enforcement, funding, data, and
evaluation to ensure progress on the immediate actions
of the Mayor’s Executive Directive No. 10, Vision Zero.
For more details on the Task Force visit lamayor.org to
download the Executive Directive.
By announcing our commitment to Vision Zero, we join a
growing coalition of U.S. cities committed to eliminating
all traffic deaths while increasing safe, healthy, equitable
mobility for all. Beyond our national borders, we also join
the international movement toward zero traffic deaths,
alongside the World Health Organization and the Global
Road Safety Partnership. Our partnerships will allow us
to leverage best practices and contribute to the state of
knowledge on safe streets.
Here at home, the City of Los Angeles benefits from a rich
network of community-based organizations committed to
safe streets. With the High Injury Network as a guide, we
look forward to partnering with our communities to build
support around our vision for safer streets.
Organizational Structure: What
comes next?
Vision Zero
depends on City
agencies and
departments,
elected officials,
neighborhood
councils, and
community-based
organizations, and
the people of Los
Angeles working
together on
effective strategies
to save lives.

We are already on our way toward specific actions to
achieve Vision Zero. There is no single department or
agency that can accomplish this task alone. To ensure
that City agencies are accountable and take the actions
needed to successfully reach these goals, a Vision Zero
Executive Steering Committee has been established to
coordinate, implement and evaluate near-term and longerterm actions. The Committee meets quarterly and provides
regular progress reports to the Mayor.
However, the work of government alone will not be
enough to bring about the necessary changes. Vision
Zero Los Angeles is a collaborative effort, and we look
forward to partnering with the people of Los Angeles
and the Vision Zero Alliance (LA0) to build support and
accountability around our vision for safer streets.
