Help us VANquish Collisions for good! The City of Vancouver is looking for interventions to help move quickly towards our zero transportation related fatalities and serious injuries goal while encouraging active travel, especially for vulnerable road users such as seniors and children.

VANquish Collisions Hackathon

Moving Towards Zero in the City of Vancouver&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Cities across Canada have committed to an ambitious goal of zero traffic-related injuries by the year 2020. In order to crowdsource some of the most forward-thinking and impactful ways to accomplish this, the City of Vancouver hosted a hackathon open to all residents of the city.
