Families for Safe Streets

Families for Safe Streets is comprised of victims of traffic violence and families whose loved ones have been killed or severely injured by aggressive or reckless driving and dangerous conditions on New York City’s streets. We have come together to turn our grief into action, so that no one else has to endure the pain we have suffered. 

We demand an end to traffic violence. We are parents, children, partners and siblings and represent the full breadth of New York’s diversity. As survivors, we bear witness to our pain and suffering in order to press for the elimination of fatalities and injuries. We envision a city where pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicles safely co-exist and children and adults can travel freely without risk of harm -- where no loss of life in traffic is acceptable.
