CoMo to Zero Comprehensive Safety Action Plan

Update, Feb. 5, 2026: Residents will have an opportunity to learn more and provide input in person at a public meeting for the CoMo to Zero Action Plan update. The meeting will take place from 4-6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the Activity & Recreation Center (ARC), 1701 W. Ash St. This event will have no formal presentation and will allow attendees to visit at any time during the two-hour window to review information, speak with staff and share feedback.

The City of Columbia is updating its Vision Zero Action Plan with the goal of reducing roadway deaths and serious injuries. The update will align with the Safe System Approach, incorporating safer roadway design, safer speeds, safer vehicles, safer people, and improved post-crash care. This plan builds upon the City’s existing Vision Zero program, which is nearly a decade old, and integrates new strategies, data analysis, and community input.

The project will deliver a Comprehensive Safety Action Plan (CSAP) consistent with the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) grant program. The plan will combine data-driven safety analysis, stakeholder input, and public engagement to identify projects, policies, and strategies that eliminate roadway deaths and serious injuries. The plan will identify systemic low-cost improvements, targeted infrastructure investments, and policy strategies to enhance roadway safety across Columbia.

The Pedestrian Level of Comfort (PLOC) project is complete, and a PLOC map is coming soon!
The new map will be an interactive, online tool that will quantify the comfort and safety that pedestrians and bicyclists experience at different locations. A PLOC score will be given to different areas of Columbia based on factors like roadway volume, speed, pedestrian and bike facility presence and quality, lighting, tree shade and more.

Check the Documents section of this site to read an introductory report on the PLOC map.
