Urges the President and Congress of the United States to eliminate the Vision Zero approach to transportation planning and instead prioritize sound engineering methods and safe outcomes.

Asserts that Vision Zero implementation in U.S. cities has increased serious injuries and fatalities rather than reducing them, citing examples from New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, Denver, and Portland.

Criticizes Vision Zero's one-size-fits-all approach for imposing lower speed limits, fewer roads, and design changes that impede emergency response and restrict individual vehicle use based on ideological rather than engineering-based principles.

Claims Vision Zero prioritizes alternative transportation modes over driver needs, reduces roadway efficiency and capacity, and conflicts with sound transportation engineering standards established by professional practices.

Requests the Arizona Secretary of State transmit copies of this memorial to the President, Congress leadership, and Arizona's Congressional delegation opposing federal funding conditions tied to Vision Zero implementation.
