The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) has released its 2024-25 Complete Streets Action Plan, which outlines key efforts to implement the Director’s Policy for Complete Streets (DP-37) from January 2024 to December 2025. The policy requires nearly all Caltrans projects to create equitable, sustainable transportation infrastructure that addresses the needs of pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users — particularly through the inclusion of complete streets elements.
The 2024-25 CSAP lists 41 policy-related actions across the following program areas: Policy & Procedures; Standards & Guidance; Funding & Projects; Data Collection & Evaluation; Training, Communication & Promotion; and Planning & Research.
UC Berkeley SafeTREC is listed as a supporting division for the following actions:
-
Develop Statewide Active Transportation Count Database (Phase II): This is Phase II of a larger effort focused on development of a count database, to serve as a storing site for all active transportation counts conducted Statewide. This effort will build upon the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) Active Transportation Database and modify it as necessary to meet the needs of Caltrans, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and local agencies to collect, store & report pedestrian and bicycle data statewide.
-
Develop California Statewide active transportation count guidance: Update and finalize the Interim Count Methodology Guidance, last revised in 2019, intended to be used by ATP Awardees for the purpose of conducting bicycle and pedestrian counts for ATP Projects.
-
Develop California Safe Speeds Decision Maker and Community Stakeholder Education Toolkit: Provide an evidence-based, online educational resource to support safe speeds decisionmaking in California. The project will also facilitate trainings for safer local roadway speed setting in two communities and will document findings to enhance vulnerable road user safety and mobility.
The full report includes detailed descriptions of all 41 proposed actions, a timeline overview to complete the actions, and a list of Caltrans district projects to be implemented from January 2024 to December 2025. The CSAP dashboard and progress reports are available on the Caltrans website.
