SDOT Findings Show Traffic Fatalities Continue To Plague Seattle
SEATTLE, WA —A report presented at City Hall Tuesday by the Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) suggested the city's seven-year-old initiative to eliminate traffic fatalities can use some fine-tuning.
In 2015, the city started the Vision Zero program as a citywide effort to eliminate serious injuries and fatalities from crashes.
However, in 2021, there were a total of 30 traffic deaths in Seattle, a 16-year-high. Since 2015, more than 175 people have died, and 1,200 people have been injured in traffic crashes in Seattle, according to SDOT.
In the report titled "Vision Zero: designing a safe system," SDOT offered research and statistics about these crashes, and some suggestions about how the city can make progress on its commitment to end traffic deaths and serious injuries on Seattle streets by 2030.
