World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims

Remember. Support. Act.

World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is a global event honoring the millions of people hurt and killed in traffic crashes each year. The event also demands an end to these devastating and preventable tragedies.

San Francisco will hold its 12th annual World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims on Sunday, November 15, 2026, on the steps of City Hall.

If you have been directly affected by a traffic crash, either as a crash victim or someone you care about has been hurt or killed, please join us. This event is a supportive space for reflection, grief, and finding comfort with those who understand.

The broader community is strongly encouraged to attend in solidarity. Your presence is deeply meaningful to victims and their loved ones. And together, our presence shines a needed light on these tragedies and the urgent need for change.
