Mississauga’s Vision Zero Action Plan has 99 action items that span 5 focus areas. Each of these areas has an important role to play in reaching the goal of zero traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. This Action Plan was developed to provide city staff with actions they can apply to their current, ongoing and future projects. To date, more than three quarters of the actions in this plan are considered to be In Progress, Complete, or Ongoing. To learn more, you can read our Vision Zero Action Plan.
