Introducing the Vision Zero Challenge for Latin America and the Caribbean

The Vision Zero Challenge is a rallying cry to city leaders to save lives by taking bold actions on road safety. Designed by a network of road safety-focused partners and led by WRI Ross Center for Sustainable Cities, this challenge aims to support cities in overcoming the barriers to full Vision Zero implementation.

The inaugural Vision Zero Challenge 2020-2021 will focus on cities in Latin America and the Caribbean, striving to collaborate across a network of practitioners and funders to push for a paradigm change and expose city leaders to the tangible actions needed to implement Vision Zero.
