A comprehensive and successful public relations strategy will only be achieved by knowing the objectives that the organization wishes to attain. As such, below we have outlined the recommendations for Vision Zero’s strategic communications goals based on our discussion: 1. Develop an easy-to-understand but relevant message for those living in Cambridge and those who drive through it regarding the need for slower, safer driving. 2. Communicate that Cambridge wants to see ZERO car crashes that result in fatalities or serious bodily harm for those walking and biking in Cambridge. The audience is all who use Cambridge streets, including but not limited to drivers, with the recognition that those who will benefit will most likely be pedestrians and bicyclists. 3. Deliver a toolbox of baseline ideas, as well as creative ones, to deliver this message. 4. Develop a set of recommended media partners to approach or to deliver an ad campaign 5.
