Mercer County is seeking community input to develop a Vision Zero Action Plan, a countywide initiative aimed at eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries by 2050. This push for safer roads aligns with recent discussions in Pennington, where residents urged local officials to take immediate action against speeding and traffic hazards. As the Borough Council explores potential solutions—including traffic calming measures and collaboration with County and State officials—Mercer County is inviting all residents to share their road safety concerns through a public survey and interactive mapping tool.

What Is Vision Zero?
Vision Zero is a worldwide effort to eliminate traffic fatalities, while promoting equitable access to safe and healthy transportation for all. Mercer County and all twelve of our municipalities are collaborating on a Vision Zero Action Plan, with the goal of ending fatalities and serious injuries on our roads by 2050. The completed plan will include a prioritized list of actions we can take to make our roads safer.
We Need Your Feedback!
We need to hear from those who live and work here in Mercer County. The more input we receive, the better able we’ll be to create a plan that reflects the needs and concerns of all our residents. Share your thoughts with us by taking the survey. Everyone who completes the survey (and optionally provides their email) will be entered to receive a $100 gift card!
Report Locations of Safety Concerns
Aside from the opinion survey above, we have a site where residents can report locations with particular safety concerns. Please drop points on the map and tell us about the issues you see.
