Calls for Action Heighten on World Day of Remembrance

From Portland to Pittsburgh, Louisville to Las Vegas, and Madison to New York City, a record-number of people joined forces to call for an end to the tragic and preventable roadway safety crisis across the nation.

On this World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDoR), more than 75 communities organized rallies, memorial walks and bike rides, candle lighting vigils, installations of shoes and life-size cut-outs to represent those killed in preventable traffic deaths. Organizers include crash survivors, people who have lost loved ones in crashes, elected leaders, public agency staff, community advocates and others.
