The energy was palpable at our recent Vision Zero Summit, held on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, where 60 dedicated partners from across Brevard County gathered with a singular, vital mission: achieving zero fatalities and serious injuries on our roadways.
The summit served as a powerful reminder that safety is a shared responsibility, and through collaboration, we can design streets that protect every user.
We extend a massive thank you to our board and committee members for their unwavering support, and a special thank you to our featured speakers. Their expertise provided the foundation for our discussions:
-
Jessica Henwood, RN (Health First) – Providing the critical perspective of frontline trauma care.
-
Lt. Channing Taylor (Florida Highway Patrol/FLHSMV) – Highlighting enforcement and behavioral safety.
-
Connor Ford, AICP (City of Cape Canaveral) – Showcasing local government leadership in urban planning.
-
Fanny Kristiansson (Kittelson & Associates / FDOT District 5) – Bridging the gap between engineering and state-level safety goals.
The true heart of the summit was the interactive hands-on workshop sessions. Attendees didn't just listen, they rolled up their sleeves and used the newly released 2026 Vision Zero Toolkit. Groups collaborated on real-world safety scenarios, applying data-driven strategies to find actionable solutions for Brevard’s most pressing transportation challenges.
To everyone who showed up, leaned in, and shared their voice, thank you! Together, we are transforming the vision of zero traffic deaths and serious injuries into a reality for our community.
