OTS Awards Circulate and SDSU $199,757 for Safety Programming

The California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) awarded San Diego State University and Circulate San Diego a $199,757 grant to support bicycle and pedestrian safety programs. Like our OTS grants with the City of Chula Vista and City of San Diego, this grant will allow us to create a strong road safety culture that prioritizes traffic safety around SDSU’s campus, especially for our most vulnerable road users.

Grant funds will support a variety of activities focused on bicycle and pedestrian safety, including walk audits, bicycle rodeos, community events, neighborhood rides, and more. The grant program will run through September 2024.

If you are interested in receiving programming through this grant, please reach out to [email protected]!

Join us in Rolando Park for a Walk Audit

Walk around Rolando Park with us! Join us on January 23rd at 2pm on the corner of Vista Grande Drive and Marlowe Drive.

We will be identifying safety hazards and infrastructure improvements that can help make the neighborhood of Rolando Park safer. We will be joined by the Rolando Park Community Council and discuss potential traffic calming measures that can aid the community.

Findings will be collected and reported to the City of San Diego; we hope these findings will help increase safety for pedestrians, bicyclists, and residents.

Heritage Park Walk and Chula Vista OTS

The planning team has been working in Chula Vista thanks to our new grant with the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS). We recently conducted a bike rodeo at Mueller Charter school and a walking field trip with children around Heritage Community Park.

As we continue working around the City of Chula Vista through this grant, we would like to extend an invite to any of those who may be interested in FREE programming! This includes biking and walking audits, open streets events, bicycle rodeos, community and school-based presentations, pop-up events, and more. The grant program will run through September 2024.

If you are a school, community group, organization, etc. interested in receiving programming through this grant, please reach out to [email protected]!
