The new annual report on their "Vision Zero Initiative" showed between July 1, 2023 and June 30, 2024, serious and deadly crashes dropped 11% compared to pre-COVID years. There was a significant 28% reduction on high injury network corridors, where the county prioritized safety projects. Those are the stretches of road with the highest concentration of collisions. "We need our streets to work for everyone whether walking, biking, using an assistive device or driving," Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich said in a news release.
