Join us on the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims to Ride and Walk for Our Lives.
In 2024, our Ride for Your Life bike ride and rally drew over 400 people to Boston Common on the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Since then, traffic violence has continued to impact our neighbors across the Commonwealth. As of October 20, a total of 273 people have been killed on Massachusetts roads this year alone, including forty pedestrians and seven cyclists. These deaths are preventable, and we will not accept any loss of life on our roads.
Join us on the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims on Sunday, November 16, to remember those we have lost and encourage our state legislators to pass legislation for automated enforcement and expanded truck safety requirements that will help prevent crashes that end in tragedy.
We kindly request that participants wear yellow, the color associated with the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. Route details will be sent by email at least one week before the ride. A rain date will be sent to all registrants via email in early November.
