Thank you to everyone who came out in support of World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in the U.S. yesterday, and to Friends and Family of Safe Streets Columbus for hosting the event. Vision Zero honors the lives lost and families forever changed by traffic crashes.

Vision Zero stands with the families and friends carrying the emotional cost of losing a loved one.

World Day of Remembrance is not only a moment to reflect, but a call to act. Please join us today from 1 - 3 PM at Washington Park on the corner of E Broad St and Cleveland Ave.

Today is National Seat Belt Day, a good reminder to buckle up and save lives. The Ohio Traffic Safety Office estimates a statewide compliance rate of about 85%. Yet unbelted crashes make up 62% of fatalities on Ohio roads, according to the Ohio State Highway Patrol. Seatbelts save lives!

Tonight should be no trick: Drive slowly and carefully as children and families hit the streets after dark. Be extra mindful of pedestrians crossing streets and walking through neighborhoods. No matter what your costume is, we can all be #VisionZeroHeroes
