Training and Technical Assistance Programs
The Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training Program (CPBST) works with local residents, agency and organization staff, and transportation safety advocates to understand a community’s walking and biking safety concerns and advance their pedestrian and bicycle safety goals. The CPBST is jointly planned with a local Planning Committee of community leaders, residents, schools, agencies and other safety partners over the course of two to three months. During the workshop, the Project Team reviews local crash data and the community’s traffic safety experiences, reviews an adapted Safe System approach framework and pedestrian and bicycle safety best practices, guides participants on a walking and biking safety assessment, and helps participants identify actionable next steps.
