Outreach - Sad But True
Arizona bicyclists are being killed at an alarming rate. For the
survivors, the emotional trauma can be
devastating - Anger, fear, a sense of injustice and depression can all take its toll. Our Outreach
program is designed to assist the survivors of a bicycle related fatality.

Outreach is the most difficult part
of our efforts.
Here's the way we see it - When our Outreach Department is pressed into action, it means we are too late. Somehow it
means we have failed to educate someone, whether it be a cyclist or a motorist. We urge you to help us in making Outreach the tiniest of our efforts.
Help us fight the fight for safer roads for everyone!
