"I have the data, now what?" A closer look at data collection, collaboration, and planning between community and governmental agencies
UC Berkeley SafeTREC hosted a webinar on May 17, "I have the data, now what?" as part of the Street Story program. Street Story(link is external) is a community engagement tool that allows residents, community groups and agencies to collect information about transportation collisions, near-misses, general hazards and safe locations to travel. To promote access to the tool, SafeTREC conducts technical assistance with communities and organizations on using Street Story. Street Story is free to use and publicly accessible.
