Today we stood with the family of Dariel Rivera on the 2 year anniversary of the crash in Nyack that took him far too soon. Thank you to Senator Bill Weber and Assemblyman Patrick Carroll for your leadership in standing with us today in support of common sense traffic safety legislation.

When it comes to changes needed to make our roads safer, who cares more deeply than crash survivors or victim families? DOT asked for public input on the 2026 Surface Transportation Reauthorization Bill. Let Secretary Sean Duffy know that you want a National Roadway Safety Advocate U.S. Department of Transportation.

In the 1980s, Helsinki, Finland, had about 30 traffic deaths per year. In the past 12 months it has recorded ZERO 👀 Officials credit lowered speed limits, excellent transit service, data driven approach. 🙌🏼 yle.fi/a/74-20174831

Vision zero isn't just some wild idealistic fantasy. It is a real outcome already happening in world leaders like Helsinki yle.fi/a/74-20174831

Just tuned into “The Road to Surface Transportation Funding” panel! 🎙️Next up: Patty Avery w/a question on everyone’s mind: “If we truly value transportation safety, in regards to reauthorizing funding, how is USDOT incentivizing & supporting safety measures for all road users?

Traffic deaths are 100% preventable -- especially when 1/3 of crashes and deaths have a speed factor! Intelligent Speed Assistance is a proven tool to stop reckless driving and slow down these repeat speeders!

Up next at #NCSL2025: Amy Cohen shares the story that no parent should ever have to tell. She spoke about losing her son Sammy to a speeding driver—and about the hundreds of Families for Safe Streets members who are part of this growing movement born from unimaginable loss.

Our fearless leader, Amy Cohen stands for all of us who turn pain into purpose. We are asking lawmakers: 🛑 #StopSuperSpeeders. Because no family should suffer for preventable policy failures. We're here to make sure the road to safety is paved with action, not just intention.

In response, Georgia State Senator Kay Kirkpatrick reminds us: “Stories are better than data.” That’s why FSS created a National Story Map—a living archive of lives lost or forever changed by traffic violence. Our stories have the power to save lives!

If you’ve been impacted by a crash—through injury or the loss of a loved one—your story matters. 📍Every pin on that map is a policy failure that could have been prevented. Help us show lawmakers what’s really at stake. Share your story! familiesforsafestreets.org/stories

Grateful to have #StopSuperSpeeders champions like mari leavitt from Washington State—where lawmakers took bold action earlier this year to curb deadly speeding. 🛑 We hope other legislators will listen, learn, and lead too—because every life saved is a policy that worked.
