In 2026, Philadelphia marks ten years as a Vision Zero city, grounded in the belief that traffic deaths are preventable and that safe streets are a shared responsibility. When our streets are designed with people’s safety in mind, they become places that support dignity, opportunity, and belonging. 

The 2026 Vision Zero PHL Conference, themed “Putting Community First: Revolutionizing Street Safety,” invites participants to explore how the physical, social, and economic city converge and what’s possible when community needs and lived experiences guide decisions. By sharing stories alongside strategies, the conference aims to build consensus and spark lasting shifts in values, policies, and institutions so safety becomes a foundation for collective well-being.

The day-long conference featuring local and nationally-recognized speakers & panelists will be held in person at Temple University on Thursday, March 12th, 2026 from 9:00am to 4:00pm.

The 2026 Vision Zero PHL conference is located at:

Temple University Student Center South
