Vision Zero Advisory Panel

Committee Purpose

The Vision Zero Advisory Panel brings together a cross-section of diverse stakeholders in our region who have a connection to one or more of the following areas: transportation, planning and engineering, policymaking, public health, Police/Fire/EMS, public works, aging in place or elder services, active transportation, and schools. The Panel will help inform and offer feedback to GPCOG staff as we develop a Regional Vision Zero Action Plan for the PACTS region.

Calendar

The committee will meet regularly during the Action Plan drafting process to ensure the plan is holistic, comprehensive, and equitable and that it touches upon each of the diverse areas of expertise represented by panel members. Please see the calendar for upcoming meetings.
