Welcome to SafeTREC, the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center at UC Berkeley
WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE that the Traffic Safety Center has a new name, SafeTREC, the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center.
Our new name more accurately reflects the manner in which our mission has grown since our founding nearly 10 years ago to encompass safety and travel risk in a multi-modal transportation system; a robust and diverse research agenda across multiple disciplines; and development and enhancement of curriculum, training, and outreach on the graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as for professionals and members of the community.

SafeTREC Headlines
November 6 Headline pick: City
installs 'sharrows' as part of cycling, driving experiment: City
employees from the Austin Public Works Department spent the better
part of Monday installing 13, 3x2-foot symbols of a man on a bicycle
into traffic lanes called sharrows. The U.S. Department of
Transportation chose Austin as one of six cities across the country
to try out the sharrows to see if drivers and cyclists can figure out
on their own how they work. The City of Austin and UT have installed
cameras in strategic areas around the sharrows to collect video to be
shared with the federal government to see whether or not the sharrows
are working. (KVUE-TV)
