Take El Cerrito's Local Road Safety Plan survey

Back in September we reported that El Cerrito was initiating work on a Local Road Safety Plan. With the help of transportation consultants Kittelson & Associates, the city achieved enough work on the plan to help with applying for street improvement grants. But recognizing that there is more that can be done, the city is refining the plan by asking locals to complete an El Cerrito Road Safety Questionnaire. 

Let the city know about your traffic safety priorities! Question number 10 asks, “Should El Cerrito commit to being a Vision Zero City?” This commitment would help move our community toward safer streets and a multimodal transportation future in which all modes of mobility, no matter what speed, will be viable. And by making possible safe use of micromobility, El Cerrito will be better able to meet its goals of reducing community greenhouse gas emissions as envisioned in the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan.
