CSU Vision Zero
Rams Moving Safely
CSU Vision Zero’s mission is to eliminate traffic fatalities and severe injuries among all users of the transportation system on our Fort Collins campuses.
We use data collection, public engagement and analysis of crash locations to recommend improvements in infrastructure, policy, education and enforcement to our partners at CSU.
The program is aligned with the global Vision Zero movement, which originated in Sweden in 1990 and has been adopted by many American cities, including Fort Collins.
OUR INITIATIVES
Help improve transportation safety at CSU with our reporter map. Drop a pin on the map to report your concerns about building access, lighting, a near miss, pathways, pavement, signage, slope/ramp, visibility or other transportation safety issues.
Entries will be viewed by Vision Zero Program staff within two business days and routed to the appropriate department for consideration or noted for future planning and prioritization, but they are not a substitute for contacting law enforcement in response to an incident. Always call 911 to report an immediate safety threat.
The tool is NOT monitored 24/7. Always call 911 to report an immediate safety threat or, for non-emergencies, contact police at (970)491-6425 to submit an accident report.
Quarterly
Stakeholder Meetings
We host quarterly stakeholder meetings for the CSU community to provide updates on the work of the Vision Zero Program and to seek stakeholder input in identifying and prioritizing safety concerns within the transportation system.
Next Stakeholder Meeting: Wednesday, April 16 at 1:00 pm, Lory Student Center Room 376.
Please RSVP so we know how many to expect.
Rapid Response Team
The Rapid Response Team is convened to visit the site of a serious or fatal crash on CSU property within 48 hours of the incident and determine whether any immediate, temporary measures can be taken to improve the safety of that location. Longer-term infrastructure, policy, enforcement and educational considerations are communicated to relevant department leaders.
Members of the Rapid Response Team include leaders from CSU Facilities Management, Police, Transportation and Safety and Risk Services.
History of Vision Zero at CSU
The Vision Zero program began as a task force that was established in 2019 to improve transportation safety on CSU’s Fort Collins campuses. The task force and its subcommittees had a number of accomplishments between 2019 and 2013, including infrastructure improvements, policy updates and support from the Associated Students of CSU.
