Bicycle Safety Grant October 19, 2021 Page 2 to reduce the number of deaths and injuries in traffic collisions involving bicycles and pedestrians. The bilingual education program is intended to reach a wide cross section of community members. It will include a series of comprehensive workshops. Some of these workshops will consist of educating adults about traffic safety, and others will consist of educating youth about bicycle safety and maintenance. At the end of the adult series, community members will recommend improvements to the Public Works Agency to guide the pursuit of future grant funds. At the end of the youth series, community youth will earn a bicycle, which they will have repaired and maintained during the course of the classes. The program includes family -friendly bicycle safety skills classes taught by the League of American Bicyclists certified instructors, access to nighttime lights and helmets distributed to the community during safety equipment events targeting pedestrians and bicyclists, equipment demonstration events, and youth pedestrian and bicycle traffic safety fairs at community events. All tasks outlined in the Program scope of work will be delivered directly by SAAS and by Cal Walks as a sub -consultant to SAAS, and will be paid by SAAS's fiscal agent, Charitable Ventures of Orange County (Exhibit 2) utilizing the Office of Traffic Safety grant award.
