Vision Statement – Survey Responses

10

My vision for zero fatalities and serious injuries is…

► An attentive traveling public that is law-abiding and courteous to all users of the roadway.

► Enough space and protection for everyone to travel safely on roads whether by car, bus, bicycle, wheelchair, or foot.

► An educated driving, bicycling, and pedestrian population recognizing their responsibilities and rights on our roads while being alert to other users.

► Bicyclists, pedestrians, and motorists who consider transportation safety a daily part of life in Billings and not just a reminder when a crash happens.

11

My vision for zero fatalities and serious injuries is…

► Committing resources in priority to best serve the greatest number of people.

► Efficient and safe travel for users to arrive safely at their destination in the community.

► A changed motorist culture that is more cognizant of pedestrians and bicyclists.

► A transportation system that safely accommodates all users and makes all modes of travel convenient and comfortable.

► Accidents and fatalities will be nonexistent in Billings.

Vision Statement Examples
