Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Safety Assessment

The overall objective is to bring down vulnerable road user (VRU) deaths and injuries as consistent with a vision towards zero fatalities by 2030. A data-driven approach helps to focus on the most vulnerable users and to target the most effective countermeasures. A related objective is to produce an initial Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment for Missouri as described in 23 U.S.C. §148(1) as part of Missouri’s Strategic Highway Safety Plan, currently named the Show-Me Zero Plan.
