Wikipedia is a good start:
"Vision Zero is a multi-national road traffic safety project that aims to achieve a highway system with no fatalities or serious injuries in road traffic. It started in Sweden and was approved by their parliament in October 1997.
A core principle of the vision is that 'Life and health can never be exchanged for other benefits within the society' rather than the more conventional comparison between costs and benefits, where a monetary value is placed on life and health, and then that value is used to decide how much money to spend on a road network towards the benefit of decreasing how much risk."

This is a pretty big deal that we as motorcyclosts need to be involved in. It is also a really good time to get to know our local representatives, because that is prolly the level implementation will be attempted. This will go on for years.
It is a pretty good guess that my councilmember does not know about this, and when i present the information we are assembling here, she and her staff will be appreciative.
Make friends and influence people. I would hoping some of you guys would enjoy doing the same.
This really is an opportunity for us.
This post might have some problems since I do not have access to a real computer. I will cintinie to edit.
