California Walks

The Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program (CPBSP) 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 CPBSP is a three project program that works with residents, schools, agencies, organizations, local officials, and other community partners across the state to understand a community's walking and biking safety concerns and advance their safety goals. We completed nearly a dozen workshops during the fiscal year as well as follow-up trainings to past sites across the state. Since 2009, we have worked with over 100 communities and helped communities receive millions in active transportation funds through our workshop outreach, reports, and follow-up technical assistance.

SCAG Go Human: Cal Walks worked with multiple communities across Southern California to implement safe roadway infrastructure demonstration projects using the SCAG Kit of Parts. This included planning, coordination, deployment, surveying, and reporting on for each event as well as assistance with planning for future improvements based on feedback from the demonstrations.

The California Endowment: Cal Walks completed two of four policy roundtables and developed a one-pager with information gathered from the participants at the roundtables. Additionally, we offered technical support for plan development, community engagement, and other activities for multiple jurisdictions across the state.
