2018 US-China Children's Road Safety Exchange Program
For years, the United States has actively explored the children's road safety programs and projects, and made many efforts and attempts from policy guidance, facilities transformation to safety awareness advocacy.
The results are admirable. The Sino-American Friendship Association (SAFA) deeply believes that raise awareness of children's road safety in China is a form of public welfare that greatly benefits our society and humanity.
The children's road safety exchange program we established in the U.S. provides a great platform to further develop and recognize the children's road safety projects in China. Cooperated with the China Women's Development Foundation, SAFA organized executives and project leaders from children's safety organizations in Beijing, Tianjin, Shenzhen, and Chengdu, China to participate in a series exchange activities held in September, 2018 in New York, Washington D.C. and Boston.
The participants have learned the best practice on road safety in the U.S. including meeting with children's travel safety organizations and department of transportation in New York, Washington D.C. and Boston to exchange experience with the children's road safety advocates and experts.
