The Tacoma Police Department recently released data that shows traffic collisions may have slightly increased since this time last year. Last year, the department responded to 45 calls to vehicle collisions, with 21 of them ending in fatalities. In just the past two months, Tacoma Police have already responded to eight traffic collision callouts, with six of those collisions being fatal. Tacoma Police say speed is a major factor in these collisions, so Tacoma is hoping some new policies will save lives.

It’s part of Tacoma’s adoption of the Vision Zero initiative, and Tacoma says the aim is to eliminate traffic and fatal collisions by 2035.
