UC Berkeley SafeTREC and California Walks are excited to share news about the communities throughout California that we will be partnering with this year as part of our 2025 Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program (CPBSP)!
About the programs
The CPBSP is comprised of the Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) and Comunidades Activas y Seguras (CAyS) programs. Each program works with local residents, schools, agencies, and other safety partners to develop a community-driven action plan to improve walking and biking safety. Both programs use an adapted Safe System approach that engages communities as the experts and strengthens collaboration between transportation professionals and communities to create lasting traffic safety and mobility improvements.
The 2025 CPBST Program
This year, the Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) Program will partner with five communities to discuss, plan, and implement active transportation safety improvements:
- San Leandro (Alameda County)
- Groveland (Tuolumne County)
- Yuba City (Sutter County)
- Corona (Riverside County)
- Vernon (Los Angeles County)
The 2025 CAyS Program
This year, the Comunidades Activas y Seguras (CAyS) project team will partner with three communities with large monolingual Spanish-speaking populations to take a community centered and culturally/linguistically sensitive approach to identify and address their walking and biking safety concerns:
- Ashland/Cherryland (Alameda County)
- Tranquility (Fresno County)
- Paramount (Los Angeles County)
Follow-up Support
Follow-up support will also be provided to five former CPBST and CAyS sites to support their community’s implementation of programs, projects, and recommendations outlined in their community action plan.
Funding for this program was provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
