What can we learn from National Week Without Driving and our Tucson community’s participation in this moment of awareness?

Sunday, November 19 is the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims, an annual, international event to remember those killed and injured in crashes and to amplify the call for change. Join us in calling attention to the roadway safety crisis and the proven strategies we need to implement to create safe streets for people.

The intersection of 5th Avenue & 7th Street just got brighter and safer thanks to a collaboration between LSA and Tenwest Impact Fest.

LSA is committed to building community through open streets events - in this case by bringing resources to the Amphi Community via a collaboration with Literacy Connects and other organisations dedicated to helping refugees and local people meet basic needs such as healthcare and education.

This April, 3.5 miles of streets along the Lost Barrio — Himmel Park route came alive with people on bikes, walking, pushing strollers, skating, and above all—connecting with their community.
