Wendy Kukowski is now speaking of her lost soulmate, Oscar, who was killed by a tractor trailer. He was the "unofficial mayor of Metuchen", deeply embedded and loved in his community. But now, he needs the community's help.

We’re at City Hall Park setting up more than 200 pairs of shoes to represent the lives lost to traffic violence on NYC streets in 2020. #WDoR2020

Our next speaker is Kate O'Connor, whose brother was 25 when he was hit by a speeding, distracted driver, and spent two more years in a hospital fighting for his life. Kate should not have had to watch her brother die - "this was not an accident, this was preventable"

Next up is an aid to @GovMurphy, reading a letter in support of today's event. "Our hearts weigh heavy for families who have lost a loved one, and victims who have been seriously injured by road traffic violence." #WDoR2020 #VisionZeroNJ

[Tri-State Transportation Campaign @Tri_State]

"Your hard work and support of others and diligence to support other victims...we as a state owe you." #VisionZeroNJ #WDoR2020

Today is World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, and we need #VisionZeroNJ to stop the more than 600 preventable deaths on NJ roads every year. Tell @NJDOT @GovMurphy you support safe roads: https://t.co/qtNhEQBv8m

[Bike-Walk Metuchen @BikeWalkMetuche]

Our communities deserve to be free from traffic violence. Today is World Day of Remembrance for victims of crashes, and in their memory I pledge to support #VisionZeroNJ and say that we can end road deaths. #WDoR2020 https://t.co/qtNhEQBv8m

die in road traffic-related crashes worldwide." https://t.co/Y59gp7jZfm

Hundreds of people die on our roads in New Jersey every year. Luckily, we have the tools to change this. We need #VisionZeroNJ to start saving lives and preventing serious injuries. @GovMurphy @NJDOT #WDoR2020 #SpeedKills

"World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims was started by RoadPeace in 1993. Since then it has been observed and promoted worldwide by several NGOs, including the European Federation of Road Traffic Victims (FEVR) and its associated organizations." https://t.co/cVbh5VVt7A

[Bike-Walk Metuchen @BikeWalkMetuche]

Road deaths aren’t "accidents" - they are preventable crashes! On WDoR, demand @NJDOT & @GovMurphy adopt #VisionZeroNJ to end the epidemic of traffic deaths & serious injuries by designing roads for safety. https://t.co/qtNhEQBv8m #WDoR2020

"The majority of states that have chosen to define a 'safe distance' between a passing motor vehicle and a person on a bicycle have chosen 3 feet as an acceptable passing distance." https://t.co/2rmcuxM978.
