The Complete Streets Safety Assessment Program
The Complete Streets Safety Assessment (CSSA) program works with implementing agencies at the city, county, or tribal levels, and universities to identify and implement traffic safety solutions that lead to improved safety for all users of California’s roadways. This year, the CSSA will partner with 16 communities throughout California.
There are two ways to participate in the CSSA program:
-
The CSSA is our original comprehensive transportation safety assessment that focuses on pedestrian and bicycle safety. Twelve communities will be selected for this effort.
-
The CSSA with the Safe Speed Limits Assessment add-on includes the standard CSSA components, plus specialized technical assistance for context-sensitive speed limit setting. Four communities will be selected for this specialized add-on component.
Apply now! Deadline Extended - regular consideration applications are due January 30th, 2026 and will continue to be accepted on a rolling basis. Reach out with any questions about the process to our team at cssa@berkeley.edu. Applications will remain open until all slots are filled.
Funding for the CSSA is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
