Join Vision Zero Chicago on November 18, 2019 to commemorate World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims (WDR) with a memorial event inside the James R. Thompson Center (100 W. Randolph St) in the atrium -- street level. WDR is an annual event observed internationally to remember the many millions killed and injured on the world’s roads, together with their families and loved ones. Chicago’s event in the Thompson Center will present a memorial display of shoes representing the individuals killed in traffic crashes in Chicago over the past year.

We invite members of the public to participate the following ways:

• Visit the memorial between 8:00 am and 1:00 pm.
• Attend a press event at 12:00 pm, with agency officials and partner organizations speaking in memory of victims and in support of action to reach the City’s Vision Zero goals.

This event is made possible by generous financial support from AARP Illinois.

Other event partners: Chicago Department of Transportation, Chicago Department of Public Health, Illinois Department of Transportation, Active Transportation Alliance, Metropolitan Planning Council, Ride of Silence.
