Words matter. Crash Not Accident is a campaign to educate San Diegans about our role preventing traffic deaths and serious injuries by acknowledging that crashes are not merely accidents but the result of human error and systemic decisions.

- Leah Shahum, Executive Director and Founder, Vision Zero Network
- Andrew Bowen, Metro Reporter, KPBS
- Maya Rosas, Director of Policy, Circulate San Diego
- Colin Parent, Executive Director and General Counsel, Circulate San Diego
