Vision Zero Road Safety Action Plan Community Advisory Committee – August 19, 2026

The City of Phoenix Vision Zero Road Safety Action Plan Community Advisory Committee met on August 19, 2026, to discuss various road safety initiatives and updates. Key procurement-related topics included the recent consultant procurement for corridor analysis on three high injury network corridors funded by the 2024 Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant. The committee received a detailed presentation on the Connected Vehicle Acceleration Zone (CVAZ) project, a federally funded initiative deploying connected vehicle technology across approximately 260 square miles to improve emergency vehicle priority, transit signal priority, freight signal priority, and vulnerable road user safety. The project involves installation of about 1,300 roadside units and onboard units in emergency, transit, and freight vehicles, with ongoing procurement and installation efforts discussed. Additionally, the committee reviewed the Road Safety Action Plan's project selection process, emphasizing the use of high injury network data and benefit-cost ratios to prioritize safety projects. The city has secured over $51 million in federal SS4A grants and continues to pursue additional funding. Committee members expressed interest in receiving regular updates on procurement progress and recommended formalizing project selection criteria to maximize safety funding effectiveness. No formal votes on procurement were recorded, but motions to approve meeting minutes passed unanimously.
