Portland Vision Zero Action Plan
DKS conducted a traffic safety analysis to inform and guide development of the Portland Vision Zero Action Plan, which integrated ten years of PBOT crash data with novel data sources, including GIS layers, Portland Fire and Rescue data, and crowdsourced conflict reports. DKS developed concise data summaries and visualizations of leading causes of crashes and connected the results with national best practices research to help identify effective actions for the City.
