Engaged Opportunity Grants

Vision Zero in Ithaca

An interdisciplinary campus-community partnership to reduce traffic-related crashes and injuries

This radical collaboration stretches from campus to community and across multiple Cornell departments and colleges. In partnership with the City of Ithaca, Ithaca Police Department, and Tompkins County Health Department, this team is laying a foundation for Vision Zero in Ithaca, NY.

Vision Zero is an international initiative that aims to achieve a roadway system with no fatalities or serious injuries. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, the team aims to leverage multiple data sources and research evidence to bring traffic-related crashes, injuries and fatalities to zero. This initial grant project funds students who are conducting a literature review to support subsequent efforts of the project, including greater student engagement and community health impact.

Topics: Access, Equity and Justice; Health, Nutrition and Medicine
