The UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research & Education Center (SafeTREC) invites California communities to apply for the Complete Streets Safety Assessment (CSSA) program, a comprehensive transportation safety assessment that focuses on pedestrian and bicycle safety.

By participating, your community will gain expert insights into designing and implementing traffic safety solutions that protect all road users. Agencies at the city, county, and tribal levels, as well as universities, are eligible to participate in the program free of charge.

SafeTREC will also offer a Safe Speed Limits Assessment (SSLA) add-on, which provides technical assistance for context-sensitive speed limit setting. Guided by the Safe System Approach, this project builds off SafeTREC’s California Safe Speeds Toolkit, which details speed limit setting flexibilities under the existing California framework.

Twelve sites will be selected for CSSA; four to include CSSA with the SSLA add-on. Each site will be assigned a team of safety experts to conduct an overview of the Safe System Approach and provide a review of crash history, a summary of current plans and policies, and a field audit of selected locations or corridors in the community. Those sites with the SSLA add-on will also receive an Engineering & Traffic Survey (E&TS) review.

To be considered for the CSSA+SSLA supplement, local agencies
must be able to provide their current and previous E&TS

All CSSA Participants Must:

• Attend a virtual kickoff meeting
• Participate in a policies & programs benchmarking survey
• Attend the in-person field assessment
• Provide one round of consolidated feedback on the report
