Rally for Vision Zero
December 8, 2023 @ 4:15 pm - 5:00 pm
Join Bike SD and Families for Safe Streets this Friday to rally for safe streets in San Diego!
In 2015, the City of San Diego pledged to have “Zero Traffic Related Fatalities and Severe Injuries by 2025”.
It is now December 2023, and with a year left to hit this ambitious milestone, the City of San Diego has actually seen a 27% INCREASE in traffic fatalities since 2015.
In 2022 alone, 122 people were killed at the hands of traffic violence. In the first quarter of this year, we’ve seen 15 traffic-related deaths in San Diego. In just the last year, there have been over six hit-and-runs.
We are long overdue for change – we must not accept these deaths as a mere byproduct of auto-centric convenience. Other cities have made strides in saving their citizens’ lives – San Diego must do the same.
