Join us for the 2019 World Day of Remembrance. Stand in solidarity to honor those who have been injured or killed by a road traffic crash. The vast majority of these crashes are preventable through engineering, education, and enforcement. In numbers, we can recognize our loved ones, and also demand action from our elected officials.
World Day of Remembrance is an annual, international event during which we gather as a community to reflect upon those we've lost and commit ourselves to improving our roads.
