The Connecticut Department of Transportation (CTDOT) recently launched a website that provides information on various traffic safety issues and encourages the public to participate in eliminating roadway injuries and fatalities.
The website, Vision Zero Council, showcases the work of the Vision Zero Council, an interagency workgroup tasked with developing statewide policy to eliminate transportation-related fatalities and severe injuries.
The Connecticut General Assembly created the council earlier this year. It comprises the commissioners or the designees of the Departments of Transportation, Public Health, Emergency Services and Public Protection, Motor Vehicles, Education, and Aging and Disability Services, and the Division of Criminal Justice. The Office of Early Childhood might also include additional commissioners or designees.
The website allows the public and safety stakeholders to participate, interact, and communicate with the council.
“The Vision Zero Council is off to a great start working to establish a series of recommendations centered on the people of Connecticut,” Garrett Eucalitto, CTDOT deputy commissioner and Vision Zero Council chairman, said. “This website will help us keep the public aware of all our efforts and ensure they know how to participate in Vision Zero activities and initiatives as well. We welcome members of the public to get involved and serve on the subcommittees by submitting the participation form on our new website.”
