When it comes to keeping kids safe on sidewalks and streets, FedEx delivers.

In 1999, FedEx and Safe Kids created the Safe Kids Walk This Way program to bring international, national and local attention to pedestrian safety issues. What started as a pilot project in three U.S. cities has now grown to more than 225 cities in the United States and in nine additional countries around the world, where there are many different challenges for kids and families to stay safe each day.

 As a company with more than 100,000 vehicles on the road, safety is always our most important priority. Helping our children walk safely to school is something the entire community can rally behind. That’s why we work with Safe Kids to support education, awareness and improvements to the areas where children are most at risk when walking. 

– Matthew Thornton, III, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, FedEx Freight  

Since the beginning of the program, Safe Kids Walk This Way has enabled more than 18,100 FedEx volunteers to reach families in thousands of communities in the United States with life-saving pedestrian safety information, through just one of our activities, International Walk to School Day.

Safe Kids Walk This Way program is already proving to be an important contribution to making roads safer in the developing world. I congratulate FedEx for its substantial support for the program through an investment worth millions of dollars. It is an outstanding example of how major corporations can make a real contribution to saving lives.
