Individual Membership

SafeRoadsMD is powered by our members. Your support goes directly toward:

Advancing road safety legislation in Annapolis.
Expanding awareness of effective law enforcement tools.
Holding Maryland government leadership and agencies accountable for roadway safety action and results.
Encouraging drivers to adopt safer driving habits.

What Makes SafeRoadsMD Different

More than 5,000 lives lost on Maryland roads in the past decade is unacceptable. The bloodshed is preventable—with the right policies, ever-stronger volunteer support and the will to act. That's why SafeRoadsMD is:

Policy-first: Focused on laws, enforcement, and measurable outcomes.
Member-driven: Members help shape priorities through the annual Policy Summit.
Direct impact: Testimony, bill drafting, coalition building, and rapid response.

Your membership dues fund direct action—testimony, bill drafting, and coalition pressure—not ‘awareness.’

How Your Membership Helps

1. Research

Hire a public policy graduate student intern to conduct research on recruiting family/victim spokespersons. (Approximately 5,500 people have died on Maryland roads in the past 10 years. The daughter of our Board member Kenniss Henry is one of those victims, killed by a drunk driver - approximately 12 years ago.)

2. Safe Driver Pledge Promotion

Fund a pilot project to launch/test market the Safe Driver Pledge, producing and distributing bumper stickers as part of the Pledge to drive safely and discourage tailgating.

3. Digital Marketing

Fund a $500 budget for digital outreach and other online development.

4. Reimbursements

Reimburse for modest expenses such as business cards, educational materials and non-profit filing fees. All our Board members are unpaid volunteers and receive no compensation other than reimbursement for approved expenses.
