NC Families for Safe Streets

It’s time to move beyond "minimum standards" and prioritize human life on our highways. The #SafeSystems solution to #StopUnderrides is to require strong #underride guards on large trucks. Join the 4/15 Town Hall: secure.everyaction.com/Uenc0WzyyEO5vZ…

Super speeders are responsible for a disproportionate number of crashes. ISA tech can prevent it. Fair, effective, lifesaving. Join us May 6th in Raleigh for North Carolina’s Stop Super Speeders Lobby Day. RSVP: secure.everyaction.com/vFvg9xltZ0mQ2p… #StopSuperSpeeders

Speeding is deadly, but the worst offenders don’t have to keep putting lives at risk. ISA technology stops cars from going too fast — fair, proven, and life-saving. Support the upcoming #StopSuperSpeeders bill in #NorthCarolina: forms.gle/zRpCtnggpXtw3G….

It's time for #IntelligentSpeedAssistance in #NC. A small group of high-risk drivers pose the greatest danger to all of us. To sign the #StopSuperSpeeders petition or sign up for the coalition, go to: familiesforsafestreets.org/stop-super-spe… #WDoR2025 #WDoR @BikeDurham @mikefor35

Today starts the North Carolina #SafeStreetsWeek. We are joining over 40 organizations across the state to call for an end to preventable traffic deaths. Join us: go.ncsu.edu/safestreetsweek @NC_GHSP @hsrcinfo @UNC_IPRC @ncsafestreets @ECUHealthNC @NCConservation @NCDOT @SADDNC

#SafeStreetsBenefitEveryone shirts and hats are now available to order through Etsy: etsy.com/shop/NCSafeStr… . All proceeds from sales will go to providing transportation funds, meals, and free shirts to NC crash victim families attending advocacy events. Thank you.

This November, we will gather in #Charlotte to remember the loved ones lost to preventable crashes and call on leaders for change. Our focus this year is on #Speeding and #SpeedCameras in School Zones. All are welcome. #WDoR @ITRE_Safety @CharlotteDOT

On NPR's @OnPointRadio, @MeghnaWBUR and I discussed car bloat's contribution to the US pedestrian safety crisis -- and why NHTSA's new plan to regulate hood designs could be a game changer. Check your local NPR station for times. wbur.org/radio/programs…

Like the Vietnam memorial "transforms statistics into people & people into stories," the @Fam4SafeStreets Story Map is a digital memorial "to channel a common anguish and unite a divided country behind an aspiration we all share: ending traffic violence." shorturl.at/h2RPZ

Speed kills. Over 10,000 people are killed by speeding drivers in the US every year. This first-in-the-nation policy shows we *can* discourage dangerous vehicle speeds at the source. Urge @CAGovernor @GavinNewsom to #SignSB961 bit.ly/SignSB961

This year's #SafeStreetsWeek will be a great opportunity to kickoff #TrafficSafetyCulture efforts @ local businesses, organizations, community groups, etc. Together, we can reverse this public health crisis. @NCVisionZero @NC_GHSP @NCPublicHealth @NCDOT @hsrcinfo @UNC_IPRC

This November, in addition to the #WDoR, we are planning a #SafeStreetsWeek with @ITRE_Safety. Participants will receive free activity kits to promote #RoadSafety in the week leading up to the #WorldDayOfRemembrance. Sign up at: go.ncsu.edu/wdor #SaveTheDate

Liam Lagunas, forever 6, was killed by a speeding driver 3 years ago today. The driver that caused the fatal crash had a long history of traffic violations, including 3 prior DWIs. We need stricter penalties which prevent repeat offenders from killing innocent kids. @NCCDA1983

"Numbers give abstracts. We need stories to convey the whole truth." @NicholasWorrell #SafeMobilityConference @Fam4SafeStreets

133 pairs of shoes to represent the people killed while biking on #NorthCarolina roads over the past 5 years. @OaksAndSpokes Director Jared: "I know this is really heavy, but things are lighter when we carry them together." #RideOfSilence #BikeMonth

TOMORROW! Join us at the plaza downtown for the annual Ride of Silence. Register: actionnetwork.org/events/ros-202…

Have you been hit while biking in #Raleigh? We're partnering with @OaksAndSpokes for the 2024 #RideOfSilence this May 15. DM if you would like to share your story. More info: oaksandspokes.com/2024/05/06/rid…

1st day of #BikeMonth & the language to repeal #BikePed funding limitations in NC has been REMOVED from the DOT bill. We will not be able to stop roadway violence against #VRU without standalone funding for bike/ped projects. @NCVisionZero @NCDOT @NC_GHSP

It's not the crash that kills, it's the #underride. @MaryandAnnaLeah and @durso_lois, true champions of safety, presenting at the #SafeMobilityConference. @AAAFTS @hsrcinfo
