The Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) introduced the Vision Zero dashboard, a new tool to help Portlanders better understand and track the bureau s efforts to eliminate deaths and serious injuries from Portland streets.
The new dashboard gives a visually rich snapshot of the variety of quantifiable street improvements, speed limit changes, educational events, and other efforts underway across the city to achieve the goal of zero traffic deaths. It answers some of the most common questions PBOT receives about the city s Vision Zero work. And it will be updated quarterly, so the public can see the latest information throughout the year, without waiting for annual reports.

In the report, the agency acknowledges that 2020 was a tragic year of loss and continues to stay committed to eliminating traffic fatalities. Jonathan Maus for Bike Portland reports that PBOT tallied 54 traffic deaths, although the Portland Police Bureau recorded 58 total fatalities on Portland s roads and parking lots.
