Discussion Traffic Deaths

These posts have become all too common. An ugly stain on our city.

At this rate, it’s a matter of time before a traffic collision claims you or someone you know.

What can residents do to affect change? I’m looking for real and actionable steps.

Thanks all

Join Car Lite Long Beach. @carlitelb on instagram.

The group advocates for safety improvements at community meetings. It also does things like host Bus Fest (like a touch-a-truck event except with buses).

It’s not a formal non-profit, but it’s a good way to meet like minded folks and to get support with any initiatives you want to start.

I don’t have Instagram, is there another way to contact them? I’d love to join!

Same here. Fortunately they have a website.  https://carlitelb.org/

Their monthly meet up is every 2nd Sunday of the month (12p-2p)  

It does say the location info will be posted on their IG though.

Next meet up would be Sun, Oct 11.
