Vision Zero: Strategies to Improve Public Safety - Virtual Workshop | March 27, 6 p.m.
Our streets are our responsibility! Vision Zero is a data-driven approach to traffic safety that focuses public dollars on areas that statistically create the most public benefit.

The City of Charlotte is committed to continuing work with the community to increase safety, health and mobility for all users.
This workshop will take place via Zoom. Registration is required. Online and call-in access instructions will be emailed to registered participants prior to the workshop.
