Obey Traffic Laws – “The first traffic signal was installed in Cleveland, Ohio in 1914. The first four-way, three-colored traffic lights were invented in Detroit in 1920. “
“Exceeding the speed limit is a reckless gamble with lives! Every mile over the limit increases the risk of a catastrophic crash, leaving behind a trail of shattered lives and irreversible consequences.”
Your life is your greatest journey.  Following traffic laws (being responsible and mindful of others) is crucial to ensuring a safe and successful trip.

PACE TULSA Started in 2013, after the founder’s involvement in a near critical crosswalk injury.

The foundation has worked online with local transportation officials to identify high-risk areas for pedestrian accidents and to develop solutions to improve safety. PACE TULSA has also advocated for improved crosswalk signage and lighting, as well as increased enforcement of crosswalk laws.

PACE TULSA’S commitment to pedestrian safety is demonstrated through its focus on public education campaigns, community outreach, advocacy efforts, and data-driven analysis. 

PACE TULSA aims to educate pedestrians and drivers about the importance of crosswalk intersection safety. 

By empowering our community, we empower ourselves to create safer streets for all. Let’s work together to ensure that every journey, no matter how short, is a safe one.

Community Outreach

“Community outreach is the bridge between safety awareness and real-world change.”

Lobbying for policies that support pedestrian safety, such as improved intersection infrastructure, stricter traffic safety laws, and  funding for pedestrian safety initiatives, can significantly impact the safety of our communities. Pedestrian safety isn’t just a slogan; it’s a commitment
