Safe Streets for All: Culturally Responsive Traffic Education for African Immigrant Communities

“Safe Streets for All,” a culturally and linguistically responsive traffic safety education and outreach program serving African immigrants and refugees in Oregon’s Tri-County region, with a primary focus in East Portland. This initiative expands on EECRC’s successful ODOT-TSO-funded pedestrian and bicycle safety education efforts, which reached hundreds of African immigrant residents. Building on that momentum, this project will broaden its impact by including drivers, transit users, youth, and new arrivals in its outreach and education efforts.
