TRAFFIC SAFETY RESOURCES

We invite you to request the following offerings, for your community, at no cost:

  • Co-Branded Safety Advertisements – We’ll co-brand print and digital graphics at no cost to jurisdictions, school districts and other partners. Use the Materials Request form to request materials with message-tested safety reminders for drivers or unique, community-specific messaging. Available in multiple languages.
  • SCAG Safety Pledge – SCAG’s Go Human Safety Pledge invites you to commit to supporting safer  streets that promote walking, biking.  By signing the Pledge, jurisdictions, organizations and individuals can become safety leaders in the SCAG region.
  • Go Human Kit of Parts Lending Library- The Kit of Parts Lending Library provides pop-up materials to temporarily demonstrate potential and planned street design treatments and safety infrastructure to create safer and more inviting public spaces. It includes materials to showcase five street treatments; a parklet, curb extension (bulb- out), median refuge island, artistic crosswalk, and separated bike lanes. Our temporary safety demonstrations create opportunities for residents to experience streets that are re-designed for safety in live traffic settings, test out, refine, and identify support for improvements.
