Older pedestrians face the greatest risk in traffic crashes. In Connecticut, nearly one-third of pedestrian crashes involve someone between the ages of 50–65. The chance of death is twice as high for pedestrians 50+ compared to younger age groups.

What an honor! Watch for Me CT's mini-documentary, Ghost Shoes, just received a Boston/New England Regional Emmy® Award. This honor puts a renewed spotlight on the important issue of pedestrian safety in Connecticut.
We are so grateful to all our collaborators on this project, especially Bill and Melody Devlin, who tragically lost their daughter, Shauna Devlin, while she was walking in Hamden.
