About the CPBST and CAyS programs
The Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) program is a joint project of UC Berkeley SafeTREC and Cal Walks. The CPBST engages residents and non-traditional partners in active transportation planning and strengthens the capacity of community partners to create safer and more accessible streets for those walking and biking in their neighborhoods.
Comunidades Activas y Seguras (CAyS) is a joint project of UC Berkeley SafeTREC and California Walks(link is external) (Cal Walks). After working with communities of a wide variety of backgrounds through our statewide Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program Training (CPBST) program, we learned that we needed to create a curriculum tailored to meet the needs of Spanish-speaking communities. To that end, CAyS takes a community-centered and culturally/linguistically-sensitive approach to identify and address walking and biking safety concerns.
Funding for these programs were provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
