Today is the World Remembrance Day for Road Traffic Victims -- a time for all of us to come together to remember and honor the individuals that have been killed and seriously injured on the roads.

Bike Pittsburgh and the QCares Foundation held a powerful remembrance ceremony this morning in McKeesport to honor all the individuals, families, and friends that have been directly impacted by this issue, and to raise awareness about the major safety issues that still exist in some of our communities.
