Check out the latest Safety Story where the SafeTREC team talked with Paige Colburn-Hargis and Pualani Vazquez from the Scripps Health Injury Prevention Team to discuss their work and the lessons they gained from a recent Community Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Training (CPBST) in the Mira Mesa neighborhood of San Diego, CA. The CPBST is a joint project with California Walks and is funded by the California Office of Traffic Safety.
