Montgomery Planning

Montgomery Planning is also committed to Vision Zero - to putting safety first for all people in all communities, whether they're on foot, on bicycles, in cars or using transit. As the agency charged with creating a long-term vision for the county, Montgomery Planning has a unique role to play in engaging the community to re-envision our auto-oriented roadways as safe, complete streets. Montgomery Planning has been incorporating safety into master plans for some time. Vision Zero offers an opportunity to step up these efforts. As safety increasingly becomes a central focus of planning efforts, we can look for ways to save lives by reducing speeds, decreasing the chance for collisions and recommending land use changes, especially on suburban and arterial roadways.
