What is Vision Zero South West?
Vision Zero South West is a partnership involving many organisations in Devon and Cornwall who share one goal – to eliminate death and serious injury from our roads.
Led by a diverse board of experts — including senior police and fire officers, leading clinicians, councillors, and the Police and Crime Commissioner — the board meets quarterly to discuss strategies and projects aimed at reducing serious collisions.
