COLLABORATIVE SCIENCES CENTER FOR ROAD SAFETY (CSCRS)
UC Berkeley SafeTREC is excited to be a part of the Collaborative Sciences Center for Road Safety (CSCRS), a U.S. Department of Transportation-funded National University Transportation Center led by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s Highway Safety Research Center.

CSCRS is one of five national University Transportation Centers announced in November 2016. The Center unites leading university transportation research, planning, public health, data science and engineering programs with the mission to create and exchange knowledge to advance transportation safety through a multidisciplinary, Safe Systems approach.

COMMUNITY PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE SAFETY Program (CPBSP)
The Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program (CPBSP) was launched by SafeTREC to reduce pedestrian and bicycle fatalities and injuries in California communities, with a special focus on addressing the safety needs of high-risk communities like seniors, children, and communities of concern.

The CPBSP is supported by funding from the California Office of Traffic Safety, and projects are conducted in partnership with California Walks. The overall program goal is to build the capacity of community partners to create safer and more accessible streets for walking and biking in their neighborhoods. CPBSP projects include the Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training Program (CPBST); and the Focus Cities Program.

COMPLETE STREETS SAFETY ASSESSMENTS (CSSA)
SafeTREC is offering free Complete Streets Safety Assessments (CSSA) to California local agencies with a population of over 25,000 people. CSSAs are comprehensive transportation safety assessments that focus on pedestrian and bicycle safety. They help local agencies identify and implement traffic safety solutions that lead to improved safety for all users of California’s roadways.
