UC Berkeley SafeTREC is excited to announce the final part of our 2025 online peer exchange series as part of the Complete Streets Safety Assessment (CSSA) program. This two-part webinar series aims to support agencies and communities working to advance safer walking and biking throughout California.
Registration is now open for the second session on June 24, where former CSSA participants will share the best practices, challenges, and lessons learned when conducting the CSSA in Contra Costa County and CSU San Marcos.
Beyond city limits: Advancing safety through the CSSA – Lessons from Contra Costa County and CSU San Marcos
Tuesday, June 24, 2025 | 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m. PST | Register for the webinar
While the majority of participants are cities, the CSSA also works with Tribes, counties, and schools. This discussion aims to explore best practices, challenges, and lessons learned when conducting the CSSA outside of the city-context, as well as how these communities can leverage the program to align with local safety goals and implement safety improvements. Registration for the peer exchange is free, and the Zoom link will be made available after registering.

- Craig Standafer, Contra Costa County Public Works
- Emily Warming, Contra Costa Health
