The City of Hollister has received federal Safe Streets for All (SS4A) funding to develop a comprehensive Vision Zero Strategy—a citywide plan to eliminate traffic deaths and serious injuries on our streets. Over the course of the project, the City and its consultant team will work with residents, schools, seniors, advocates, and community organizations to develop six interconnected plans that together will make Hollister safer for everyone who walks, bikes, drives, and rolls through our community. All engagement activities will be available in both English and Spanish, with in-person outreach designed to reach community members across every neighborhood. Your input will directly shape the safety improvements, projects, and programs that come out of this effort.

Project Timeline

This project will only succeed with meaningful input from the people who live, work, study, and travel in Hollister every day. The team will use a wide range of methods to make sure every community member has a chance to participate, regardless of schedule, language, or comfort level with public meetings.
