This project analyzed colli- sion data, roadway configuration to mitigate transportation system fatalities and severe injuries which are preventable by providing accessibility for all . The planning process established community goals for the City of El Monte’s transportation system, including context sensitive design(s) and traffic speeds appropriate for enhancing safety and mobility for all system users . The VZAP accomplishes the following: • Considers Vision Zero best practices, including policies, programs, and strategies, that are successful elsewhere and applicable to the City of El Monte • Develops a High-Injury Network (HIN) to identify corri- dors for bicycle and pedestrian improvements • Coordinates with existing road safety efforts underway in the City and Vision Zero initiatives elsewhere • Engages community stakeholders in setting the priori- ties for investment in Vision Zero strategies • Identifies partnership opportunities with public, private and non-profit organizations to advance Vision Zero strategies in the City • Refines existing and propose new metrics to track plan progress towards Vision Zero
