Advancing safer walking, biking and rolling across California
We are excited to launch the pilot of our new follow-up program as part of the Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program (CPBSP), aimed at educating and empowering community agencies, organizations and advocates working to advance safer walking, biking and rolling across California! The two-part virtual webinar series in March will cover how to create and strengthen positive traffic safety culture in your community and how to build a sustainable coalition to support long-term safety initiatives.
The 2025 CPBSP pilot follow-up program
Webinar #1: How to build and strengthen a positive traffic safety culture
Tuesday, March 4, 2025 | 12pm - 1pm PST
In this session, participants will improve their understanding of traffic safety culture and its relationship to advancing safer roadways for all through Vision Zero goals and the Safe System Approach, and identify tangible next steps to grow a positive traffic safety culture.
Webinar #2: How to build and strengthen a coalition
Tuesday, March 18, 2025 | 12pm - 1pm PST
In this session, participants will learn to articulate how a coalition can help them achieve their safety goals, identify two to three traffic safety issues to coalesce around, and identify potential stakeholders to engage in building their coalition.

About the CPBSP
The Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program (CPBSP) was launched by UC Berkeley SafeTREC (SafeTREC) in collaboration with California Walks (Cal Walks) to reduce pedestrian and bicycle fatalities and serious injuries in communities across California. The CPBSP prioritizes working in communities that are at disproportionate risk for road traffic injuries and addressing the safety needs of people who are underserved by traditional transportation resources and planning, e.g., older adults, people with lower incomes, people with disabilities, immigrant or refugee populations, and more.
Hosted by UC Berkeley SafeTREC and California Walks as part of the Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety (CPBSP) program. Funding for this program is provided by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
