Pittsburgh Vision Zero Summit – Oct. 17, 2025

Join BikePGH and the City of Pittsburgh on October 17, 2025

BikePGH and the City of Pittsburgh are co-hosting the City’s first-ever Vision Zero Summit. Join us for a day of discussions, speakers and breakouts highlighting the local and regional efforts to achieve zero deaths on our roadways.

Traffic fatalities across the country have been on the rise, with pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users making up a higher percentage of victims than ever before. Vision Zero is a holistic approach to eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries.

In March of 2024, Mayor Gainey committed to Vision Zero, providing the framework and goal to make the necessary changes in both Pittsburgh’s built environment and city processes. Additionally, Allegheny County and SPC are working on a Vision Zero Action Plan for the county. But, there’s still plenty of work to do to achieve zero traffic deaths on our streets.

Learn + Share + Collaborate

The summit will provide a forum for participants to learn about the principles of Vision Zero, share what progress has been made at their companies and departments related to specific policies, plans and projects. It will also provide opportunities for networking with the hope of kickstarting a greater level of collaboration across sectors to save lives on our streets and roadways.

What to Expect

Join us for a day of discussions, speakers and breakouts highlighting the local and regional efforts to achieve zero deaths on our roadways.

The team is building an engaging slate of presenters, and attendees can expect three plenary and two breakout sessions.
