Vision Zero Community Engagement - TravelSafely

Do you live, work, or play in South End? Download the TravelSafely app to help make our streets safer. You’ll receive auditory alerts for a more informed travel experience.

A few benefits of using the app include:

• Get Ready for Green – At a red light, the app will verbally notify you when the light is about to turn green.
• Red Light Warning – If a user speeds towards a red light, the app will alert that they are approaching the intersection too fast.
• Slow Speed Zone Warning -The app will warn you if you’re traveling too fast in a slow speed zone.
• Cyclist Ahead Warning – If you’re a motorist, the app will warn you if there’s a cyclist using the app on the road ahead.
• Pedestrian Ahead Warning - If you’re a motorist, the app will warn you of pedestrians using the app in the crosswalk ahead if it detects you aren’t going to stop.

The Charlotte Department of Transportation will evaluate the pilot area, comparing before and after crash data.

Training on Demand: Exploring Corporate Buyer Deterrence Strategies

The city is aware of corporate investment concerns and continues to explore options within its legal abilities to support persons who desire to stay in their homes to remain, and to educate property owners, Homeowner's Association (HOA’s) and Condominium Associations (CA) who proactively seek to deter corporate investor interest.

The city's support is not advocacy, legal advice, nor a judgment of corporate investment, rather a means to educate residents to define and apply their desired path. This educational workshop helps explain property rights and corporate buyer deterrence opportunities for individual property owners and HOAs. The workshop includes rights, powers and best practices for property owners and neighborhoods to impact corporate investment interest based on their organizational status.

To learn more, watch the replay. Visit the Community Engagement Training on Demand page for additional training opportunities.
