Welcome to the
UC Berkeley Traffic Safety Center Newsletter
The Fifth Anniversary Issue
In this five-year retrospective of the UC Berkeley Traffic Safety Center's activities, we present an overview of our growth since our founding in 2000, including snapshots of some past and ongoing projects, curriculum development, and participation in planning and policy to promote improved traffic safety in California and beyond.
The center's unique capacity to advance traffic safety theory and practice because of its core competencies merits special emphasis. Read more in the Fifth Anniversary Message.
This newsletter was created by the UC Berkeley
Traffic
Safety Center (TSC) to disseminate important information on
traffic safety topics most relevant to communities in California.
The mission of the TSC is to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries
through multi-disciplinary collaboration in education, research,
and outreach. A main goal of the Center is to make traffic safety
information available and accessible to public and private organizations,
agencies, and businesses, and to individuals.
The TSC newsletter is published quarterly. If you'd like to subscribe or unsubscribe to the mailing list, please visit this page of the TSC website.
