Vision Zero

Oklahoma City developed a Vision Zero Plan to reach zero fatalities and eliminate deadly crashes on our public roadways.

Oklahoma City strives to protect all road users with the Vision Zero Plan and create a safer, more equitable mobility system for all. The City of Oklahoma City received federal grant funding from the U.S. Department of Transportation to develop a Vision Zero Plan for OKC.

Crashes on Oklahoma City roads are on the rise. Traffic deaths increased by 34%, with 99 fatalities in 2021. Most traffic fatalities occur on streets where speeds are 45 miles per hour or above or on streets with limited street lighting.

View the City of Oklahoma City's Vision Zero Action Plan below. The plan provides an analysis of the City’s roadways and recommends strategies to help the city reach its Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries on the OKC's most dangerous roadways. The OKC City Council adopted the OKC Vision Zero Plan on Feb. 25, 2025.

Vision Zero is a strategy to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries while increasing safe, healthy and equitable mobility for all. First implemented in Sweden in the 1990s, Vision Zero has proved successful across Europe — and now it’s gaining momentum in major American cities. Learn more at VisionZeroNetwork.org
