Abreu asks DOT about funding and staffing for Vision Zero plan
Abreu asks what funding and staffing are necessary to implement Vision Zero Reimagined. Flynn says the mayor made a historic commitment and DOT has resources for most of the plan, ramping up staffing and capacity in FY27.
What funding and staffing levels are necessary to implement the Vision Zero Reimagined plan?
Yeah, so we're really excited that the mayor made a historic level of commitment to our safety and multimodal programs earlier this year.
And we have the resources to move ahead with the bulk of the Vision Zero plan.
It is a 10-year strategy.
So if there's additional resources needed, we'll certainly be in constant communication with City Hall and OMB on that.
And are these resources currently available?
We're ramping up, yeah.
So the new resources that kicked in in FY27 in July, so we've been in that process basically of staffing up, of
expanding capacity of different mechanisms for implementing things that we need to do, and that's all pretty far along in progress.
That's great.
