Bring Safety Messaging Materials to Your Community  

SCAG's Go Human regional safety campaign encourages drivers to slow down and watch for people walking and biking. Based on data from SCAG, people who walk and bike experience a disproportionate share of serious injuries and fatalities in traffic crashes.

SCAG provides Go Human safety advertisements, co-branded with partner logos, at no cost to local jurisdictions, agencies, nonprofits, and community-based organizations. Eligible organizations can request print or digital material. Standard print materials (e.g., postcards and fliers) will be available in early 2026.

Explore examples of advertisements, social media graphics and posts, and newsletter content in the Go Human Message Showcase.

Community Streets Program

2024 Go Human Community Streets Program

With support from the California Office of Traffic Safety (OTS), the 2024 Go Human Community Streets Grant Program (Community Streets Program) granted funding  to implement traffic safety strategies through community engagement projects. SCAG anticipates another Call for Applications for the Community Streets Program in 2026, pending funding availability.

 The Community Streets Program supports projects that facilitate community resilience, recovery, and resource delivery, prioritizing outcomes for low-income families and communities of color, especially those most harmed by traffic injuries and fatalities. 

Program Goal

The Community Streets Program builds street-level community resilience by increasing the safety of people most harmed by traffic injuries and fatalities, including, without limitation Black, Indigenous, and People of Color; people with disabilities; and elders, particularly those walking and biking. The Community Streets Program improves traffic safety locally and across the Southern California region, leveraging and building community leadership committed to traffic safety and prioritizing projects that center historically excluded or disinvested communities, mobility justice, disability justice, and rural community investment, among others.

Rather than focusing on the behavior of people walking and biking, the Community Streets Program targets structural issues that affect the safety of people walking and biking, such as dangerous driving behavior, high vehicle speeds, street design, and structural racism. Applicants are encouraged to propose creative, strategic projects that center justice and respond to program goals and communities’ current needs.

Eligibility

Community-based organizations, nonprofits, and social enterprises are eligible to submit a Community Streets Program proposal. Public agencies and entities with 501(c)4 status are not eligible for this program.

Funding is available to recipients across the SCAG region, which encompasses the counties of Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ventura counties.

SCAG’s Go Human Kit of Parts Lending Library provides pop-up materials to temporarily demonstrate potential and planned street design treatments and safety infrastructure to create safer and more inviting public spaces. 

The Go Human Kit of Parts includes materials to showcase five street treatments. The street treatments include a parklet, curb extension (bulb-out), median refuge island, artistic crosswalk, and separated bike lane. The Kit of Parts is made of portable, light-weight materials that are easy to transport and assemble. 

Temporary safety demonstrations create opportunities for residents, planning and engineering staff and community leaders to experience, test, refine, and support infrastructure improvements in live traffic settings.
