SCAG’s Go Human campaign is welcoming 2021 with renewed commitments to equity, mobility, and transportation safety with the adoption of the Toward Zero Deaths resolution by the Regional Council on Feb. 4, 2021. The resolution provides a framework for reducing fatalities and serious injuries across the SCAG region in Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties.

The Toward Zero Deaths resolution establishes a safety target of 3.5% annual reductions in fatalities and serious injuries to reach the goal of zero by 2050. SCAG will work toward this goal by adopting a Regional Safety Policy, affirming commitments to equity and data-driven approaches, and encouraging partner agencies to develop Toward Zero Death policies.

To support SCAG’s commitment to safety across the region, Go Human is excited to announce the following 2021 safety strategies and resources! 

  • 2021 Mini-Grants Program – Go Human will launch its third round of Mini-Grants for community-based organizations and community leaders this spring! Stay tuned for more info.
  • Local Media Campaigns with our Affordable Housing Sustainable Communities (AHSC) Partners – Go Human will partner with up to 11 new affordable housing partners to plan advertisements that will foster walking and biking in and around the new developments.
