Vision Zero Task Force Final Report Published

2025 Annual Repor t City of Indianapolis | Vision Zero Taskforce

2025 Indy Vision Zero Annual Report 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2025 Indianapolis Vision Zero Annual Report Six months into the implementation of the Indianapolis Vision Zero Action Plan, the Vision Zero Taskforce is encouraged by the meaningful progress underway across agencies and community partners. Guided by a shared-responsibility and a commitment to eliminate traffic fatalities and serious injuries, taskforce members have begun advancing key strategies. Early signs are promising, but more work needs to be done. On Indianapolis roadways, fatal crashes decreased by nearly 16% from 2024 to 2025. Fatal crashes have declined by nearly 30% compared to the peak of the pandemic in 2021, bringing fatal crashes back to pre-pandemic levels. These downward trends mirror those observed in peer Vision Zero cities nationwide, many of which are also experiencing measurable declines in fatal crashes and serious injuries following pandemic-era spikes. While many of the strategies outlined in the Vision Zero Action Plan have only begun implementation, the Taskforce remains focused on accelerating and sustaining the positive downward trajectory. The goal is not only to sustain progress, but to intensify safety efforts that will bring fatalities and serious injuries to zero. As implementation continues, the Taskforce will prioritize data-driven decision making, strategic investments, and working with advocates to ensure that safety improvements reach communities most impacted by crashes. This early progress demonstrates that Indianapolis is moving in the right direction, and reinforces our commitment to delivering safer streets for all modes of transportation. The Vision Zero Taskforce looks forward to building on this momentum and providing continued updates as implementation advances. -Indianapolis Vision Zero Taskforce

These are not just data points; they are members of our community whose stories deserve to be honored with dignity, remembrance, and a commitment to preventing future tragedies.

2025 Indy Vision Zero Annual Report 7 2025 CRASH ANALYSIS While traffic fatalities in 2025 remain slightly higher than in 2019, traffic death and serious injuries are essentially back to pre-pandemic levels, sustained year-over-year decline observed since 2021 signals measurable progress in safety outcomes for road users. Since 2021, Indianapolis has seen nearly a 30% decline in fatal crashes on our roadways. Fatal crashes decreased by nearly 16% from 2024 to 2025 alone. There was an approximately 67.5% decline in serious and incapacitating injuries from 2021 to 2025. At the same time, the data underscore that fatal and serious injury crashes remain at an unacceptable rate. This reinforces the need for continued, sustained efforts to meaningfully eliminate fatalities and serious injuries. Overall, the trend highlights both the importance of the City’s Vision Zero commitment and the importance of maintaining implementation momentum across the strategies outlined in the Action Plan. Continued emphasis on safe street design, proactive speed management, data-driven enforcement, and coordinated responsibility among agencies and roadway users will be critical to ensuring that these positive trends are not only sustained, but accelerated toward the ultimate goal of eliminating traffic fatalities. Analysis of fatal crash locations indicates a clear overlap between traffic fatalities and transportation-impacted neighborhoods, with many fatal crashes occurring within or adjacent to areas identified as experiencing higher transportation barriers. The greatest concentration of fatalities are located in the urban core and along major arterial corridors extending throughout the city. While fatal crashes remain a citywide issue, this relationship highlights that transportation- impacted neighborhoods continue to experience a disproportionate share of severe traffic safety outcomes. These findings reinforce the importance of prioritizing Vision Zero interventions in areas where safety and equity needs intersect, particularly within transportation-impacted neighborhoods and along the High Injury Network. Summary:

2025 Indy Vision Zero Annual Report 8 2025 CRASH ANALYSIS The 2025 traffic crash and fatality data presented in this report are sourced from the Automated Reporting Information Exchange System (ARIES) and are primarily based on crash reports submitted by the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department (IMPD). This dataset reflects crashes occurring within IMPD’s jurisdiction within Marion County, Indiana. Crashes occurring outside of IMPD’s jurisdiction, such as those investigated by excluded Cities’ police departments or the Indiana State Police are not included in this analysis due to jurisdictional reporting limitations. This analysis also focuses on roadways owned and maintained by the City of Indianapolis and managed by the Department of Public Works (DPW), where the City has authority to implement redesign or reconstruction improvements. Roadways under the jurisdiction of external agencies, such as the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) or local roads within excluded municipalities, are not included in this analysis. The dataset incorporates all modes of transportation as defined by ARIES reporting criteria. Reported figures may vary depending on the specific filters and criteria applied within the ARIES system.

The Fatal Crash Review Team (FCRT) is a multidisciplinary (DPW, DMD, IMPD, two civilians) team established under City ordinance in 2022 to review all traffic fatalities and serious injuries occurring within Indianapolis jurisdiction. Following police crash investigators review, the FCRT evaluates each crash to determine whether roadway design, traffic controls, or other infrastructure factors can prevent or mitigate severe crashes. Based on its findings, the FCRT issues formal recommendations for DPW engineering, operational, and safety improvements intended to reduce the likelihood and severity of future crashes. These recommendations help guide the City’s Vision Zero implementation efforts, capital planning, and other safety projects. By systematically reviewing severe crashes and translating findings into actionable infrastructure improvements, the FCRT provides a data-driven decision making framework for advancing safer streets across Indianapolis. Summary: Since 2022, the Fatal Crash Review Team (FCRT) has identified and tracked infrastructure recommendations and projects for locations associated with fatal and serious injury crashes. These recommendations range from low-cost operational changes to major corridor reconstruction projects and are used to prioritize safety interventions based on crash history and systemic risk factors. To date, the City has evaluated and advanced more than 82 infrastructure recommendations out of 338 fatal crashes reviewed generated through the FCRT process. Recommended safety improvements include signal timing modifications, pedestrian crossing enhancements, sidewalks, access management, corridor redesigns, traffic calming, and multimodal safety upgrades. 2025 Indy Vision Zero Annual Report 10 Fatal Crash Review Team Find all Fatal Crash Review Reports using QR Code or email FatalCrashReview@indy.gov PROGRESS AT-A-GLANCE

2025 Indy Vision Zero Annual Report 11 Fatal Crash Review Team FCRT Infrastructural Recommendations Implementation Status: From 2022 through 2025: 31 - recommendations are “In Progress or Programmed” into existing capital projects 19 - recommendations have been “Completed” 11 - recommendations are “Not Complete” (Require Major Capital Investment) 12 - recommendations are “Under Evaluation” as potential candidates for future funding 9 - recommendations are “Not Yet Categorized” needs further evaluation PROGRESS AT-A-GLANCE Despite recent funding supporting several Fatal Crash Review Team (FCRT) infrastructure recommendations, additional resources remain critical to fully address the significant number of outstanding safety projects necessary to mitigate future fatal and serious injury crashes. While current funding has allowed progress on key corridor and intersection improvements, many recommended interventions still require substantial financial support. The FCRT is actively reevaluating its internal processes and procedures to better align recommendations with broader Vision Zero Principles and strategies. This realignment focuses on prioritizing cost-effective, evidence-based safety countermeasures that can be deployed more rapidly and efficiently, including quick-build strategies, and proven roadway design interventions.

With support from advocacy organizations and neighborhood associations, residents can help guide efforts to implement and test potential safety-focused design alternatives, and celebrate neighborhood identity through public art and placemaking initiatives. Community Powered Infrastructure encompasses three separate programs that allow the residents of Indianapolis to work with the City to make changes within their neighborhoods. These programs include: the Indianapolis Neighborhood Infrastructure Partnership (INIP), Tactical Urbanism (TU), and Art in the Right-of-Way (ART). Tactical Urbanism (TU) Art in the Right-of-Way (Art) Art projects focus on strengthening community identity, supporting awareness campaigns, and visually activating public spaces through initiatives such as murals, abstract murals, asphalt art, and other creative installations. These projects help transform public spaces and foster community stewardship. Projects are primarily focused on traffic calming, lane reallocation, and safety improvements using temporary materials. TU projects consistently aim to reduce vehicle speeds, improve compliance, and create safer multimodal corridors, increasingly using multi-element designs rather than single treatments.

Efforts focused not only on impaired driving, but also on aggressive driving behaviors. A total of 14 DUI checkpoints were conducted across the county, supported by four targeted enforcement blitz periods aligned with high-travel and high-risk times: November 26 – December 31, 2024 April 4 – April 13, 2025 May 11 – May 31, 2025 August 11 – August 18, 2025 Grant Period Overview (October 1, 2024 – September 30, 2025) Summary Through a strong partnership between IMPD, ISP, Speedway, and Beech Grove, agencies maintained a visible and consistent enforcement presence throughout the year. Grant funding supported a balanced approach targeting impaired driving and aggressive driving, including speeding and dangerous roadway behaviors. These coordinated efforts strengthen collaboration and contribute to safer roadways.Grant Funding and Expenditures (Approximate)Personnel InvolvementEnforcement Results

2025 Indy Vision Zero Annual Report 22 PROGRESS AT-A-GLANCE Traffic Enforcement Efforts - MCPO The Marion County Prosecutor’s Office implemented changes to its Safe Driver Deferral Program effective July 1, 2025, tightening eligibility requirements for speeding-related infractions. Under the updated policy, only drivers cited for traveling 1–15 mph over the posted speed limit are eligible for deferral, previously it was up to 25 mph, reinforcing a stricter stance on excessive speeding while still allowing limited flexibility for lower-level violations. Individuals cited for reckless driving or higher-speed violations are no longer eligible. The program continues to offer eligible individuals the opportunity to keep infractions off their driving record by meeting program conditions, while ensuring accountability for more dangerous driving behaviors. Since implementation, the policy change has resulted in a measurable decline in program participation and associated revenue. Average monthly deferral revenue for the Prosecutor’s Office decreased from $49,282.33 in the first half of 2025 to $34,982.08 in the six months following implementation. This reduction is directly attributable to the narrowed eligibility criteria and reflects a deliberate policy shift prioritizing safety over program volume.
