This Action Plan embraces a framework of safe speeds, safe streets, safe people, safe vehicles, and safety data. The Vision Zero Action Plan 2025 builds on Philadelphia’s progress over the last three years and advances the next phase of work using a safe systems framework. This approach to transportation safety looks beyond the immediate conditions of a crash and focuses across connected systems to prevent fatal crashes. The plan includes: 

​

• Designing residential streets for 20 mph target speeds using traffic-calming measures. 

• Expanding automated speed enforcement program to within ¼ mile of all schools and all High Injury Network streets, upon passage of State enabling legislation. 

• Continuing the Neighborhood Slow Zones program by launching a new round of applications in 2021. 

• Installing 40 miles of protected bicycle lanes on the High Quality Bike Network.
