External Stakeholders Group

Stakeholder group members were invited in October 2019 from existing committees, commissions and community organizations identified by the internal Stakeholder Group. The mission of the group is to support the County’s Vision Zero program through the following activities:

  • Extending the importance of safety culture and commitment to the public through assisting with education and engagement programs.
  • Helping guide public outreach, messaging, and strategies related to Vision Zero.
  • Providing insight, feedback, and local knowledge to the County’s Vision Zero team.
  • Participating in bimonthly meetings with County staff through the development of the Action Plan.

There will be public meetings after these reports are published. Notifications about these meetings will be posted on the Vision Zero: Get Involved page.
