Community Pedestrian & Bicycle Safety Training Program
The Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) program is a joint project of California Walks and UC Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) with funding provided by the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The CPBST program works with residents, schools, agencies, organizations, local officials, and other community partners all across the state to understand a community’s walking and biking safety concerns and advance their safety goals.
This free workshop is available to communities all across the state. Applications to be a 2024 CPBST site are now OPEN!
Project Activities include:
A facilitated discussion on local crash data and the community’s safety experiences;
A walking and biking assessment to identify safety concerns and opportunities for improvements
An educational overview of the Safe System framework and strategies
An interactive activity to develop a community-driven safety action plan
For questions about the program, please contact Emilio Hernandez at emilio@calwalks.org.
