RECAP: 2023-2024 City of Chula Vista Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program
This past year, Circulate teamed up with the City of Chula Vista to bring bicycle and pedestrian safety programs to residents across the city! With support from the California Office of Traffic Safety, Circulate delivered a packed lineup of impactful events and programs that made Chula Vista’s streets safer and more accessible for everyone.
The Circulate team worked hard throughout the year to deliver on this project and is looking forward to doing it all again for the 2024-25 cycle!
To learn more about the program and check out a few highlights, check out our blog post here.
Policy Counsel Meets With Statewide Housing Partners
On Wednesday, October 21, Policy Counsel Will Moore traveled to Berkeley for a meeting of statewide housing advocates.
The group discussed plans for legislation that would reduce permitting delays, cut costs, improve financing opportunities, and reduce barriers to homeownership. The group will continue to push for local and state reforms to end our housing crisis.
“Vision Zero At Ten Years” Policy Report Release – Nov 12.
On Tuesday November 12, 2024, Circulate will release a report on pedestrian deaths in San Diego.
In 2015, in response to a community effort led by Circulate, the City of San Diego adopted the Vision Zero initiative to eliminate pedestrian and cyclist deaths on our roads by 2025. That goal will not be met. This report analyses policy choices made by the City since then, and the results on our streets.
The report finds that national trends have gotten substantially worse, with pedestrian and cyclist deaths from crashes nearly doubling. Deaths in San Diego over the period have also continued to increase somewhat, though at a much slower rate than the national trend.
The report cites useful policy changes made by the City since adopting Vision Zero – changes that helped mitigate the national trend.
The report is expected to increase public awareness of our dangerous streets, commending important work that has helped make our streets better, and pushing our City and community to redouble its efforts and resources to help San Diego reach its elusive goal of Vision Zero.
The report will be released on Tuesday, November 12 with a press conference and media availability. Members of the Circulate community are invited to attend.
National Pedestrian Safety Month Halloween Safety Press Release
As we embrace the thrills of trick-or-treating, pumpkin picking, and haunted trails, it’s no surprise that October is also National Pedestrian Safety Month! Circulate San Diego, in partnership with California’s Office of Traffic Safety, is here to remind our community’s monsters and ghouls to stay vigilant while celebrating.
Halloween night is one of the deadliest due to increased pedestrian traffic and alcohol consumption. With little ghosts and goblins out haunting for treats, drivers must be extra careful. Planning to party? If you indulge, always have a sober ride home—just one drink can turn a spooky night into a nightmare!
Let’s keep our streets safe this October. Take the trolley, bike, or stay the night. For more tips and to learn about pedestrian safety, check out the NHTSA website.
Together, we can ensure a safe and fun National Pedestrian Safety Month for all!
Safe Streets for All San Diegans
The City of San Diego is working to slow traffic and make our streets safer! Visit their Virtual Open House from October 28th to December 2nd, 2024, to learn more and share your ideas with our team.
This project, funded by a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) federal grant, is embarking on three distinct efforts to reduce traffic related injuries and deaths by lowering speeds and identifying safety projects in areas of acute need. Learn more and provide input by navigating to each of the break-out rooms below or visiting the project website.
This effort builds on the City’s ongoing update of the Bicycle Master Plan and relates to the following City escorts: ◦ Mobility Master Plan ◦ Climate Action Plan ◦ General Plan ◦ Strategic Plan ◦ Vision Zero
Join Us for World Day of Remembrance Candlelight Vigil
On November 17th, join Families for Safe Streets San Diego, Circulate San Diego, and San Diego Safe Street Advocates for the World Day of Remembrance for Road Traffic Victims. This global day of remembrance honors the 1.35 million people killed each year in preventable traffic crashes and advocates for change.
We will pay tribute to the hundreds of lives lost in 2023 with a candlelight vigil, sharing stories from loved ones and hearing remarks from elected officials and community members, as we call for action to end this preventable crisis.
World Day of Remembrance Memorial Sign
To honor your loved one or friend lost in a traffic collision, submit a photo and information to create a memorial poster. These posters will be displayed at the vigil on November 17th, serving as a poignant reminder of the faces behind the statistics.
RSVP to show your support as we work to make our streets safer for everyone.
