Streets Are For Everyone (SAFE) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization founded in January 2014. SAFE improves the quality of life for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers alike by reducing traffic-caused fatalities to zero. SAFE addresses the problem in a holistic fashion through direct education, broad awareness campaigns, partnerships, community outreach, policy and legislation, support for those impacted, and other proven strategies.

Did you know?

• Approximately 6,500 pedestrians and 900 bicyclists are killed each year as a result of collisions with motor vehicles (Federal Highway Administration)

• Pedestrians and bicyclists account for as much as 40-50 percent of traffic fatalities in some large urban areas (Federal Highway Administration)

• It is estimated that 90,000 pedestrians and 60,000 bicyclists are injured in collisions with motor vehicles each year, with many more never reported (Federal Highway Administration)

• In the six largest cities in the United States, 9-20% of all collisions are hit and runs. In Los Angeles, the incidence is 48% (LAPD and USA Today)

Our strategies include:

• Policy and planning -- supporting sensible legislation and evidence-based policy implementation

• Broad Public Street Safety Campaigns -- this includes bus ads, billboards, media, and social media campaigns

• Vision Zero -- working with city officials on re-engineering dangerous corridors and intersections to reduce traffic fatalities as part of the Vision Zero program, including the re-engineering of La Tuna Canyon Road.

• Streets, Art, SAFE -- a film competition where Hollywood filmmakers mentor high school students to produce street safety PSAs

• SAFE Support -- the nation's first and only support service for those victims and families affected by traffic collisions and traumatic injury

• Finish The Ride and Finish The Run events as flanking actions to all above
