Every week, 5 people die and 35 people are seriously injured in Central Florida crashes. Between 2018-2022, 26 people were killed on roadways in Kissimmee.
City staff worked with MetroPlan Orlando and its agency partners to develop the Kissimmee Vision Zero Action Plan (VZAP) which is part of a coordinated regional initiative, Vision Zero Central Florida. MetroPlan Orlando was awarded a $3.79 million federal grant under the 2022 Safe Streets and Roads for All Action Plan program. This funding was utilized to develop a comprehensive Regional Vision Zero Safety Action Plan for the three-county area (Orange, Osceola, and Seminole counties) as well as action plans tailored for each county and city, including Kissimmee and St. Cloud.
The Kissimmee Vision Zero Action Plan(PDF, 36MB) development process included multiple elements working together to create a comprehensive community-based document with clear policy recommendations and an actionable work plan. The Final Action Plan sets the stage for implementation of prioritized projects that strategically address identified needs, all with the purpose of moving toward the goal of Vision Zero.
