The World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims is held on the third Sunday of November. This day is dedicated to remembering the many millions killed or injured in road crashes and their families and communities.
We also pay tribute to the dedicated emergency crews, police and medical professionals who deal with the traumatic aftermath of road death and injury on a daily basis.
One by One has been a volunteer effort by iRAP and they are thankful to all who have contributed their talent and time.

One by one, the lives are lost
One by one, we mourn their loss
One by one, we count the cost
One by one is one too many

The song is a reminder of all the lives lost on the road. Sometimes crashes are presented as numbers, that we need to halve all road crashes by 2020. This means halving the 1.24 million people killed every day on the road. 1.24 million is not ust a number, it is an individual life lost in its own right; a unique tragedy that befalls family, loved ones, friends and communities. As its expressed in the song, one by on is one too many.
