This past Saturday, the Vision Zero Florida (VZFLA) team made a significant impact at the Village of Palm Springs Holiday Tree Lighting Event, transforming a festive community gathering into an opportunity to promote road safety and community engagement.
A Night of Community and Safety
The annual holiday event, known for its warm community spirit, took on an additional layer of meaning this year as VZFLA set up an informative booth dedicated to raising awareness about street safety. Families, children, and community members were invited to learn about Vision Zero’s critical mission: eliminating traffic fatalities and severe injuries through collaborative safety efforts.
A Night of Community and Safety
Visitors to the VZFLA booth were encouraged to:
- Sign the Vision Zero safety pledge
- Learn about pedestrian and cyclist safety strategies
- Enter an exciting raffle for a free bicycle
The bicycle, generously sponsored by Richwagen’s Delray Bike & Sport, represented more than just a prize—it symbolized VZFLA‘s commitment to providing practical support for safer transportation alternatives.
A Winning Moment for the Hernandez Family
The highlight of the evening came when the Hernandez family was announced as the lucky winners of the free bicycle. Their excitement was palpable, reflecting the community’s growing enthusiasm for road safety initiatives and active transportation.
Thank you to everyone who stopped by, signed the pledge, and committed to making our streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.
Looking Forward
VZFLA’s participation in the Holiday Tree Lighting Event underscores our ongoing commitment to creating safer streets for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. By engaging community members directly and offering tangible ways to get involved, we’re building a culture of road safety, one pledge at a time.
Together, we’re building a safer community one pledge at a time. Stay tuned for more events in the future!
