COVID-19 Effects on the Mobility of Vulnerable Populations

Thursday, February 25, 2021 | 12pm - 1:15pm PT

The over-60 population in California is projected to grow faster than any other age group, and will comprise up to one-quarter of the state's population by 2030.

SafeTREC is offering free Complete Streets Safety Assessments (CSSAs) to California communities, including cities, counties, and school campuses with a population of over 2,500 people. CSSAs are comprehensive transportation safety assessments that focus on pedestrian and bicycle safety. They help local agencies identify and implement traffic safety solutions that lead to improved safety for all users of California’s roadways.
