The Dallas Transportation and Infrastructure meeting held on May 19, 2025, focused on updates regarding the city's Vision Zero strategies aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries. The meeting began with an overview of the purpose and background of the Vision Zero initiative, which is based on the principle that all traffic fatalities and severe injuries are preventable.

The presentation highlighted crash data trends from 2020 to 2024. In 2023, Dallas recorded approximately 35,000 total crashes, which decreased to around 28,000 in 2024. However, the number of fatal crashes slightly increased from 201 in 2023 to 210 in 2024. Notably, while the overall number of accidents declined, there were instances in 2024 where multiple fatalities occurred in single incidents, contributing to a higher fatality rate despite fewer total crashes.

The data also detailed fatalities by mobility type on non-access controlled highways. In 2023, there were 62 motorist fatalities, which rose to 95 in 2024. Conversely, pedestrian fatalities decreased from 55 to 46, while motorcyclist fatalities increased from 10 to 13. There were no reported fatalities among bicyclists.

For the current year, 2025, the preliminary data indicates a positive trend, with total fatalities dropping from 59 in the same period of 2024 to 33 in 2025. Pedestrian fatalities also decreased from 15 to 13, while motorcyclist fatalities increased to 6. Bicyclist fatalities remained at zero.

The meeting concluded with a review of crash data behavior from 2019 to 2025, emphasizing the ongoing efforts and challenges in improving road safety in Dallas. The city remains committed to its Vision Zero goals, focusing on strategies to further reduce traffic-related fatalities and injuries in the future.
