World Day of Remembrance
For Road Traffic Victims
November 15, 2026
Help us Remember the 705 Lives Lost in LA County Last Year
Memorial Park at CicLAvia—Pasadena
Sunday, November 15th
On November 15, Streets Are For Everyone and CicLAvia come together around a shared vision: streets that are safe, healthy, and welcoming for everyone.
As we remember those killed in traffic crashes and support the families and communities left behind, we also look toward a future where these preventable tragedies no longer occur.
CicLAvia invites people to experience our streets differently by walking, biking, and connecting with their communities. SAFE builds on these experiences to encourage greater use of active transportation and public transit, helping create demand for safer streets.
Together, we recognize that transforming how we use our streets can save lives, strengthen communities, improve well-being, and benefit our environment.
This World Day of Remembrance, we invite Angelenos to
REMEMBER. SUPPORT. ACT.
