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.
