THE VISION ZERO

The Vision Zero traffic safety banner residency program, sponsored by NYCDOT Safety Education Division, in collaboration with Universe City NYC and local business improvement districts, engages New York City 5 th – 8 th grade students in exploring the traffic safety environment in the area around their schools. Through discussion of traffic safety issues, neighborhood observation, and elements of current DOT campaigns, students will work together to identify problems and provide solutions by creating unique banners that speak to local issues. Their banners will be installed along streets near the schools by neighborhood Business Improvement Districts (BIDs) and will work to raise traffic safety awareness and help prevent crashes and reduce injuries and fatalities around their school community.
