The Massachusetts Vision Zero Coalition has created this section of the website to examine locations where serious or fatal crashes have occurred and share recommendations for improvements. We will start with Boston crash locations, since the Vision Zero Task Force has established a process to respond to every fatal traffic crash in the city with a site visit.

We also hope to share photos and updates when recommended changes are made. You can help us by submitting photos/comments when you see changes made at a crash location listed so that we can keep each page as up to date as possible.

Please contact the coalition if your community has or will be instituting a crash response process and would like it to be included.
