THINK SAFETY is a public awareness campaign, established in 2006, to address the increasing incidents of bicycles and pedestrians with motor vehicles on our roadways. The Campaign included banners, posters, and brochures, along with vinyl letters for vehicles and parking meters, with messages that reminded motorists and other roadway users, bicyclists and pedestrians, to SHARE THE ROAD. The goal of the Campaign was to have the message everywhere visitors and residents went so that the message was constantly in front of them. In 2008, with motorcycle crashes and fatalities on the rise, motorcycle safety was added as a third emphasis area.
For 2010, THINK SAFETY is taking on a new look and focusing on the individuals who lost their lives in motor vehicle collisions. Specifically, the Campaign honors two young individuals whose parents have taken their tragedy and tried to make the roadways safer for motorists and other roadway users. We thank them for their efforts and for permitting us to use their children’s stories and pictures.
This site has been created so that families in South Jersey can share their loved ones photo and story about how they died in a motor vehicle collision in an effort to put a face to these tragedies so that motorists drive responsibly and safely.
