SCM 1002 Arizona Senate · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

vision zero; transportation planning

This Arizona legislative memorial requests Congress eliminate Vision Zero as a condition for federal transportation funding. It argues that Vision Zero policies - requiring lower speed limits, narrower roads, and reduced vehicle capacity - have increased traffic fatalities in cities like Denver and Portland while hindering emergency response and economic efficiency. The memorial seeks to redirect federal funding toward engineering-based transportation solutions that prioritize safety without restricting mobility or road capacity. (Note: This is a memorial, not a binding bill, and expresses Arizona's position on federal funding conditions.)

What changed between versions

Introduced Version Senate Engrossed Version · 4 edits · Feb 27, 2025
MODERATE
The document changed from a legislative bill format to a Senate Concurrent Memorial format, which is a formal request to the President and Congress rather than a law. The substantive content of the memorial remains identical, urging the elimination of Vision Zero transportation planning in favor of traditional engineering approaches. This change in format means the document is now a formal petition rather than a bill that could be enacted into law.
Scope change
The document's scope changed from a bill (which could become law) to a concurrent memorial (which is a formal request/petition to federal officials). The substantive policy content and arguments remain unchanged.
