Traffic fatality plan up for review

A plan that aims to bring the number of traffic fatalities and serious injuries to zero will be up for public review during a virutal town hall next week.

The Maui Metropolitan Planning Organization will present a draft of its Vision Zero Action Plan at 4 p.m. Feb. 25 via Zoom.

Over the past year, the organization has been working with the county and the Healthy Eating Active Living Coalition to engage the community and get feedback on roadway safety concerns and opportunities.

Maui MPO Executive Director Lauren Armstrong said that they analyzed the data and came up with seven Vision Zero priorities from the draft plan: • Eliminate impaired driving. • Create safe speeds. • Eliminate distracted driving. • Create a safety culture. • Build safe streets for everyone. • Institutionalize vision zero. • Improve data to support decisions.
