The City of Whitehorse is developing a Vision Zero Policy and Safe Mobility Action Plan. The Plan will identify actions to reduce transportation-related fatalities and injuries on Whitehorse’s transportation system. Community feedback is an important part of this process.
Background
The City of Whitehorse is committed to safe mobility and making transportation safe and comfortable for people of all ages and abilities. The City’s Official Community Plan states that safety will be a priority when it comes to the design, construction, and maintenance of transportation infrastructure. The City recently adopted a new Transportation Master Plan, which establishes a long-term vision for transportation in Whitehorse, and a target to eliminate fatalities and serious injuries from Whitehorse’s transportation network by 2040. The Transportation Master Plan identifies an action to develop a Vision Zero Policy with a Safe System Approach to help the City achieve this target.
The City is also working on several other initiatives to improve road safety in Whitehorse:
Neighbourhood Speed Reduction
Neighbourhood Traffic Calming Pilot Project
Traffic Calming Policy
Together, these projects will support the Vision Zero Policy and Safe Mobility Action Plan and help create safe and comfortable travel options for everyone.
What is Vision Zero?
The Vision Zero Policy and Safe Mobility Action Plan seek to prevent collisions leading to serious injuries and fatalities on Whitehorse roads, sidewalks, bicycle routes, and pathways. It focuses on making Whitehorse safer and more livable for everyone, with practical solutions that work today and prepare us for tomorrow.
The Plan will recognize that humans make mistakes, and calls for a transportation system designed to be forgiving—minimizing the risk that those mistakes lead to serious injuries or death. This aligns with Vision Zero and the Safe System Approach. More information can be found below and here.

The Vision Zero Policy and Safe Mobility Action Plan will:
Develop a vision, guiding principles, and targets for safe mobility in Whitehorse
Collect and analyze data to understand local collision trends and concerns
Develop key focus areas and actions aimed at reducing fatalities and serious injuries, informed by data and community input
Empower the City, interested parties, and the public towards a positive change in safety culture
Community Engagement
Take our survey by July 9. We want to understand what makes you feel safe or unsafe on our roads.
Attend our webinar on June 25, 6:00-7:30pm Our project team will provide more information about the Vision Zero Policy and the Safe Mobility Action Plan. The session will be recorded and made available afterwards.
