60 times a DAY. 4,000 injured ANNUALLY. 500 fatalities each YEAR. And, it doesn't have to be this way.
The Storefront Safety Initiative was launched by the Storefront Safety Council in 2017 to work together to put an end to vehicle-into-building crashes.
Our data shows that every year in the United States there are as many as 20,000 crashes into stores, offices, bus stops, shopping centers, post offices, restaurants, and storefronts. More than 4,000 pedestrians, patrons and employees are severely injured each year, and tragically preliminary data shows as many as 500 deaths result from these largely preventable accidents. Our objective
The objective of Storefront Safety Initiative (SSI) is to provide free resources to those working to increase pedestrian safety where we eat, work, play & shop. We work with industry and government officials to educate and promote building codes. We are doing this by increasing the participation of business owners, property owners, developers, design professionals, and public servants. We believe that implementation of common sense standards of care will help to prevent the substantial loss of life. Not just statistics
