The City of Sedalia is adopting the Vision Zero policy and the Safe Streets for Sedalia Action Plan to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries on City roads by 2032. Between 2018 and 2022, 9 people lost their lives, and 71 others were seriously injured in traffic crashes. This plan, funded through the Federal Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. It focuses on safer street design, education, enforcement, and equity to address areas in the community most in need of improvements. It supports collaboration among government agencies, public health, law enforcement, and community members to make Sedalia's streets safer for all users.

Adopting this plan aligns Sedalia with state and federal goals, including the Missouri Department of Transportation's Show Me Zero program. It prioritizes data-driven safety improvements for vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians while fostering community partnerships. By adopting Vision Zero and the Safe Streets for Sedalia Action Plan, the City will take an essential step toward reducing traffic-related tragedies and creating a safer, healthier community.
