In 2024 so far, nearly 1,800 lives have been lost to, or seriously injured by, a traffic crash in Massachusetts — not including the countless friends, family, and loved ones impacted as well. On November 17th, we’ll recognize each person impacted during this year’s World Day of Remembrance for Traffic Crash Victims.

Please join us in recognizing World Day of Remembrance by taking individual action or joining/planning events in your community. Please see our World Day of Remembrance 2024 Toolkit or our website for a regularly updated list of events happening across the state, and resources for planning your own action.

P.S. MassBike is offering mini-grants to support organizing your own action. Apply by Novemeber 6th at 5pm!
