Welcome to SafeTREC, the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center at UC Berkeley
WE ARE PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE that the Traffic Safety Center has a new name, SafeTREC, the Safe Transportation Research and Education Center.
Our new name more accurately reflects the manner in which our mission has grown since our founding nearly 10 years ago to encompass safety and travel risk in a multi-modal transportation system; a robust and diverse research agenda across multiple disciplines; and development and enhancement of curriculum, training, and outreach on the graduate and undergraduate levels, as well as for professionals and members of the community. Read more about our new name.

SafeTREC Headlines
November 20 Headline pick: Cyclists'
app aids traffic planners: If you see bicyclists wobbling through
the city streets with an iPhone in hand, don't assume they're playing
Bejeweled or IMing their virtual pals while they pedal. They may be
using Cycle Tracks, the San Francisco County Transportation
Authority's new - and first - application for the Apple iPhone. Once
bike riders install the app, they tap the "start recording"
button, which begins tracking their trips and displaying them on a
city map. When they're done pedaling, they hit the "save"
button, and the details of their journeys are sent to the authority,
as well as saved in the user's iPhone. The app uses GPS to track
riders' routes.—San Francisco Chronicle
