~~ Honor those impacted by roadway crashes during our Week of Remembrance ~~
PINELLAS COUNTY, FL — Forward Pinellas is hosting a Week of Remembrance as part of the upcoming World Day of Remembrance (November 16th) to honor the memory of the lives that have been tragically lost or forever impacted by roadway crashes throughout Pinellas County, FL. These stories are powerful reminders of why safe driving matters and will help raise awareness for road safety.
Selected stories will be featured across Forward Pinellas’s social media channels during the Week of Remembrance, November 10 through 14th, to honor victims and help spread life-saving messages to our local communities. As we begin the effort to evaluate safety challenges countywide through the Safe Streets Pinellas program, we want to make sure the focus is on the most important aspects of transportation safety: the people in our community.
We invite you to share your personal story through this short form by November 7th: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/CrashVictimStory
The form allows you to:
- Upload a photo of your loved one or yourself
- Share the circumstances about the crash
- Tell us about your loved one and their legacy or describe how the crash has impacted your life
- Provide a safety message you want others to take away
We kindly ask that you forward this correspondence to anyone who may wish to honor their loved one in this way or share their story of survival. Loss of life or serious injury are not acceptable prices to pay for mobility on Pinellas County roadways. Together, we can raise awareness, honor victims, and work toward preventing future tragedies.
