Vision Zero Network
Planning has begun for 2023’s World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDoR), with the first monthly organizing call being held August 9, 2023. This session will bring together both newcomers and seasoned WDoR organizers to strategize and tap into helpful resources, including mini-grants. In addition to being a day to honor those killed and injured in roadway crashes, WDoR is also an important day of action for Vision Zero Network and the #VisionZero movement. This year’s theme is Safe Streets for People which emphasizes people-first policies.
WDoR is November 19, 2023.
