The San Luis Obispo council of government’s vice president Andy Pease read the Road to Zero (RTZ) proclamation during SLOCOG’s regular board meeting on Wednesday.
The RTZ gives a safety target goal of eliminating regional traffic fatalities and serious injuries by the year 2050. The SLOCOG board of directors unanimously approved the RTZ, and will convene a regional road safety steering committee to develop a regional safety action plan in pursuit of its goals.
The RTZ coalition is a coordinated, data-driven response that is managed by the national safety council.
