Our Community Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety Training (CPBST) program with California Walks is a four-hour, community-based workshop designed to help local advocates and community members develop pedestrian safety action plans that leverage best practices, promote walkability and ensure community engagement. 

SafeTREC is conducting a pilot survey about traffic safety culture in California and is seeking online participants. This survey covers a limited range of traffic safety topics to refine questions that may be included in a broader study in the future. The results of the larger study will help to understand 
perspectives and attitudes about traffic safety in order to inform safety strategies.

PH 285A, Injury Prevention and Control course will be offered this Fall semester. The importance of injury, intentional and unintentional, as the leading cause of death before age 45, and the leading cause of years of potential life lost, will be illustrated. Following an overview, the course will be organized around specific current injury-related issues. Students are encouraged to prepare an injury-related paper for publication. 

SafeTREC staffers and students regularly make academic contributions to traffic safety research and continue to contribute after they graduate from UCB and head on to academic and professional positions.
