Our Mission Starts with Vision Zero

Committed to reducing traffic fatalities and creating safer roads for all vulnerable road users.

Vision Zero is a global initiative aimed at achieving zero traffic fatalities and severe injuries through safer road designs, education, policies, and the use of advanced technology. As a key part of this mission, the Coalition is deploying V2X technology to connect vehicles, cyclists, and infrastructure, ensuring that crashes can be prevented before they happen. Together with industry leaders, we’re turning this vision into a reality by building safer, more connected roads.
