Have You Been Personally Impacted?

If you've been personally impacted by a fatal or serious injury crash, you can join Families for Safe Streets and receive support services. In addition to our local events, there a a number of support group and advocacy events throughout each month on the FSS calendar.  

We Meet Every Month

Our local group meets monthly (virtually for now). We are here for peer support and to use our personal stories to advocate for change in our city. If you have been injured in a traffic crash or have lost a loved one while walking or biking, we invite you to join us.
