As part of our Vision Zero goal of eliminating traffic fatalities and serious injuries in Hayward by 2050, the City of Hayward Transportation Division has kicked off development of a Nighttime Safety Enhancement Plan (NSEP) and is seeking community input.

The NSEP aims to improve safety for people traveling and prevent traffic collisions around the City after dark through targeted street-light improvements and analysis, as it has been found that most fatal and severe-injury traffic incidents in Hayward occur between 6 p.m. and midnight.

To learn more and participate, go online to this Nighttime Safety Enhancement Plan project website where a digital map tool allows users to pinpoint areas where you need to go at night and where you face nighttime transportation safety issues. The web map will be open through Dec. 31.
