About the Community Traffic Safety
Coalition
The Community Traffic Safety Coalition (CTSC) was formed in 1992
and has been very successful in developing creative partnerships
to reduce injuries to bicyclists and pedestrians. Members include
community organizations, government agencies, businesses and individuals
representing law enforcement, transportation, public works, DMV,
education, health and injury prevention, parents, bicycling advocacy,
retailers, and manufacturers.
In 1995, the CTSC formed a group in Watsonville, now
called the South County Bicycle and Pedestrian Work Group (SCBPWG),
to address the unique needs in this part of the county. Both the
CTSC and SCBPWG are exceptional examples of the power of collaboration
to accomplish a community's goals.
Mission Statement
To reduce traffic-related injuries, while promoting the
use of alternative modes of transportation. The primary focus is
on bicycle and pedestrian safety issues. The CTSC educates all road
users in safety practices to decrease the risk and severity of collisions,
and advocates for improved conditions to make all methods of transportation
safer.
Meetings
Both the CTSC and SCBPWG meet bi-monthly on the first Tuesday according
to the schedules below. CTSC meetings are held from 2:00 to 4:00
p.m. at the County of Santa Cruz Health Services Agency campus,
1060 Emeline Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA 95060 in the Solarium. SCBPWG
