Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training Program Evaluation Report

The UC Berkeley Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC) and California Walks (Cal Walks) developed the Community Pedestrian Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) program to train and mobilize communities to address pedestrian and bicycle safety and to strengthen collaboration with local officials and agency staff. SafeTREC and Cal Walks work hand-in-hand with communities to plan and facilitate workshops that are reflective of each community’s needs and priorities. This report provides a summary of the qualitative and quantitative methods used to evaluate the CPBST program, the findings of the evaluation, and lessons learned during the process. The report may provide an evaluation framework that other organizations can use, as the current goals and objectives can be modified to suit individual program requirements. It is suitable for many purposes, including measuring program effectiveness and monitoring program implementation. The measurement tools used are included in the Appendices.
