Mexico City, November 12, 2025. Every year, on the third Sunday in November, World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is commemorated. This date invites us to remember those who have lost their lives or been seriously injured, and to recognize the work of emergency services that provide care and assistance with dedication and commitment.
Promoted since 1993 by the RoadPeace organization and adopted by the United Nations in 2005, this commemoration seeks to highlight the human and social impact of road traffic accidents, strengthen support for victims and their families, and promote evidence-based actions that contribute to safer mobility. In its 2025 edition, under the international slogan “Remember – Support – Act,” the commemoration makes a global call to turn memory into action.
According to the First Survey on Road Safety Perception in Mexico, 28% of people reported having been involved in a traffic accident. However, this figure only reflects direct experience, without delving into testimonies or how many have lost a family member or friend.
This research shows that in Mexico City, 41% of respondents reported having been involved in an accident, a figure that drops to 32% in the State of Mexico and 26% in the rest of the country.
At Fundación Aleatica, we reaffirm our commitment to this goal through programs and initiatives focused on education, prevention, and shared responsibility on the roads. Of particular note are the Road Safety Training Days, which strengthen the capabilities of police officers and first responders to provide timely, empathetic, and professional care.
The Foundation also promotes the communication campaign “No te hagas” (Don’t play dumb), an initiative that encourages social reflection on risky behavior and promotes shared responsibility in mobility. With clear, evidence-based messages, the initiative seeks to strengthen a preventive and conscious road safety culture.
On this World Day, the Aleatica Foundation joins the international call to Remember, Support, and Act, transforming memory into commitment and commitment into concrete actions. Every life counts, and every informed decision contributes to building a more humane and safer environment for all people.
