Attachment C <br />Attachment B <br />RESOLUTION NO. 5143 <br />A RESOLUTION SETTING AS OFFICIAL POLICY THE VISION ZERO GOAL THAT NO <br />LOSS OF LIFE OR SERIOUS INJURY ON OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IS <br />ACCEPTABLE. <br />The City Council of the City of Eugene finds that: <br />A. The life and health of the City of Eugene's residents are our utmost priority. <br />B. No one should die or be seriously injured on our transportation system. <br />C. Step It Up! is the U.S. Surgeon General's call to action to reduce the risk of <br />chronic diseases through increased physical activity by improving access to safe and <br />convenient places to walk and wheelchair roll and by creating a culture that supports these <br />activities for people of all ages and abilities. <br />D. Children, seniors, people of color, people with disabilities, and people in low- <br />income communities face a disproportionate risk of traffic injuries and fatalities. <br />E. Between 2003 and 2012, an average of almost 6 people per year died in <br />crashes on our transportation system. <br />F. During this same period, an average of nearly 3 people per year died in <br />crashes on our transportation system while walking or bicycling. <br />G. Based upon the ratio of people driving to people walking or bicycling, <br />people walking or bicycling represent a disproportionate share of the fatalities on our <br />transportation system. <br />H. The City of Eugene's Climate Recovery Ordinance calls for reducing <br />community-wide fossil fuel consumption by 50 percent by 2030. <br />I. Increasing walking, bicycling, and bus trips is a key strategy in reducing fossil <br />fuel consumption. <br />J. Increasing real and perceived safety for people walking, bicycling, and riding <br />a bus is a key step in enabling more people to do so, as called for in city plans and policies. <br />K. Local school districts strive to provide Safe Routes to Schools to thousands of <br />school children every year. <br />L. The U.S. Department of Transportation's Mayors' Challenge for Safer <br />People, Safer Streets is consistent with the City of Eugene's goals to enhance the safety of <br />our transportation system and encourage people to walk, bicycle, and ride a bus for a <br />greater number of trips. <br />M. The City of Eugene and our regional partners are taking steps to enhance <br />safety for people walking or bicycling within the following seven categories of the Mayors' <br />Resoluton - Page 1 of 2 <br />Page 270 <br />
