The resolution designates the third Sunday of November each year as World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims in New Jersey. This observance aims to raise awareness about the severe consequences of traffic accidents, which resulted in 697 fatalities in the state in 2021, marking the highest number in 14 years. The resolution highlights the emotional and physical toll that traffic incidents take on victims, their families, and communities, as well as the critical role of emergency response and medical professionals who manage the aftermath of such incidents.

By officially recognizing this day, the resolution seeks to promote education on crash prevention and to honor those affected by traffic incidents, including the emergency responders who face significant psychological challenges due to their work. The Governor is requested to issue an annual proclamation to encourage public officials and citizens to observe this day with appropriate activities and programs, thereby fostering a collective commitment to reducing traffic-related tragedies in New Jersey.
