California Speed Camera Bill AB 645

California Speed Camera Bill AB 645

After a stalled attempt to pass an automated speed camera enforcement bill during last year’s legislative session, another effort is being made this year via Assembly Bill 645 (AB 645). While we support the bill’s intention to reduce crashes and improve equitable enforcement, we have concerns that it may work against these goals.

$24.4M in Federal Funding Awarded for 22 East Bay Traffic Safety Projects

$24.4M in Federal Funding Awarded for 22 East Bay Traffic Safety Projects

$24.4 Million in federal funding has been awarded to 22 East Bay traffic safety projects, including protected bikeway upgrades in Richmond and Concord, trail crossing upgrades in Antioch, and more.


This funding is from a competitive grant program called the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP), which is focused on addressing safety issues at high-crash locations. These awards will be combined with a smaller amount of local money to fully fund the projects and bring them to construction within the next several years.

Protected Bikeways With Paving on the Way

Protected Bikeways With Paving on the Way

East Bay cities are learning how to do more, faster, by delivering protected bikeways alongside routine paving projects. Coordinating upgrades with paving is cost-effective, and an opportunity for cities to experiment with treatments outside of large state or federal grant-funded projects that usually have long timelines and many more requirements. Here are a few recent examples.
