# 🚥 Towards Zero Traffic Deaths | ||
|
||
When I moved from Rio de Janeiro to São Paulo, one of the biggest improvements | ||
on my quality of life was becoming car-free. I still used a car here and there, | ||
to visit in-laws or traveling to the country, but swapping out driving and | ||
maintaining a car to a mix of subway and cycling day-to-day was game changing. | ||
That's not the norm in São Paulo, but it was a privilege I obtained that became | ||
a key factor in enjoying the city. | ||
|
||
Fast forward a few years; the new urbanist movement around 15-minute cities | ||
growing stronger; climate crisis ever looming and active transportation policy | ||
becoming more widely sought-after; I move to Vancouver. If my overall experience | ||
as city dweller improved in almost every axis after moving to São Paulo except | ||
perhaps for "beach time", the same gains repeat tenfold here plus getting | ||
beaches back - on summers at least. | ||
|
||
Like any big city, Vancouver is a complex amalgamation of forward and backward | ||
policies, culture and infrastructure. On the one hand, I'm as confident as ever | ||
that I can live a complete urban life without owning a car due to the decent | ||
amount of cycling infrastructure around [MetroCore][], plus the amount of | ||
public-transit-accessible adventures - from turquoise lake hikes to snowboarding | ||
mountaintops. On the other hand, progress is sometimes slow, sometimes | ||
non-existent, as waves of car-centrism ebb and flow more or less in synchrony | ||
with conservatism majorities on the wheels of the public sphere. | ||

||

|
||
Rio, São Paulo, and Vancouver can and should and do more to make car dependency | ||
a thing of the past, so becoming car-free becomes not a privilege of the few, | ||
but a feasible choice for anyone. Owning a car should be a matter of personal | ||
preference as much as its color, not a condition for getting access to work or | ||
leisure. | ||
|
||
## Getting Involved | ||
|
||
The biggest barrier to more people cycling on big cities has always been safety. | ||
This is for good reason: in Vancouver as of 2023, about 100 people die in | ||
traffic every year while trying to get from point A to point B. It's no wonder | ||
people wish to have as much metal around them as possible while on the road, | ||
consequently the SUV trends makes it even less safe for those trying to get | ||
around, specially those on any other less protected transportation device: | ||
bicycles, skateboards, rollers, or just walking on two legs. | ||
|
||
That's where [Vision Zero][] comes in. | ||
