BACKGROUND:

The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) is tasked with effectively and efficiently administering traffic safety grants to deliver innovative programs that reduce traffic collisions and economic losses. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has identified priority program areas, including Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety. Using Federal Highway Safety Program funds, OTS offers a yearly grant program to prevent serious injury and deaths on California’s roads.

Public Works (PW) staff have applied for and been awarded funding for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program at Goleta area schools on two previous occasions: January 2020 for $51,373 and January 2023 for $103,587.

In January 2025, Public Works staff applied for grant funding through the OTS. In July of 2025, staff was notified that the application was approved for $64,429 to provide and 1 Meeting Date: September 16, 2025

administer a Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program at Goleta -area schools. The program aims to provide education and outreach on bicycle and pedestrian safety to give active transportation users the knowledge and tools necessary to safely and confidently walk or bike to school. This is a step to help reduce collisions and collision - related injuries. This education program is in line with the City’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan and helps to meet key performance measures targeting Pedestrian and Bicycle safety goals. The Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety program developed through the grant funding also helps to further the City’s Vision Zero goals.

DISCUSSION:

The OTS Grant Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program will primarily focus on educating school-aged children at the five elementary schools in the City of Goleta: Brandon Elementary School, Ellwood Elementary School, Kellogg Elementary School, La Patera Elementary School, and Santa Barbara Charter School. The program will also include education at Goleta Valley Junior High School and Dos Pueblos High School.

Public Works staff is proposing to contract with MOVE Santa Barbara County (SBMOVE) to administer the grant-funded program. SBMOVE, which is formerly Santa Barbara Bicycle Coalition (SBBIKE) and Coalition for Sustainable Transportation (COAST), is an established, education-focused, non-profit organization that specializes in providing bicycle and pedestrian education programs to schools throughout Santa Barbara County. Staff coordinated with SBMOVE on the grant submittal, and SBMOVE will perform most of the work associated with the grant, building on their existing Safe Routes to School programs, which SBMOVE currently provides for the City. The State of California OTS Grant Agreement PS26034 for the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program is provided in Attachment 1. The Professional Services Agreement with SBMOVE, which outlines the provision of a Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program funded by the OTS Grant, is provided in Attachment 2.

Grant funds will be used for a variety of activities promoting bicycle and pedestrian safety, including a focus on E -bike safety. The program's goals are to provide school- aged children with a thorough understanding of how to stay safe when bicycling or walking on and near streets. Outreach and education will be provided to all public-school students in Goleta where established Safe Routes to School programs are in place, targeting not just students, but parents as well . Students will be taught bicycle and pedestrian safety skills through activities such as classroom presentations, on-site demonstrations, walking school buses, helmet inspections, bike rodeos, and bike skills classes in an attempt to reduce injuries and fatalities. The program will be offered during school hours, at community events, and at summer camps, both of which will be open to all Goleta residents. The bike skills classes are based on a curriculum developed by the League of American Bicyclists and can be taught by instructors in both English and Spanish. The OTS grant will also fund the purchase and distribution of bicycle helmets and safety items to increase visibility and awareness of pedestrians and bicyclists, provide community outreach promoting pedestrian and bicycle safety events through SBMOVE and City-based social media accounts, websites, and local media outlets. The 2 Meeting Date: September 16, 2025

grant will also fund the development of an E -bike safety education program for youths ages 12-18 and parents, including E-bike safety presentations and helmet distributions.

The grant program runs from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2026.

FISCAL IMPACTS:

The total cost for the OTS grant effort is $64,429, which includes $6,687 in staff charges and $57,742 in contractor costs (SBMOVE), which are required for this effort. The OTS grant funds will cover all costs. There is no requirement for a local funding match for this grant, resulting in no impact to the City’s General Fund. Budget appropriations are listed in Table 1 below.

1. PROBLEM STATEMENT

Describe the city, county, or jurisdiction this grant will impact.

The Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Program grant will impact the City of Goleta. Located in Santa Barbara County, California, the City of Goleta has a population of 32,140 and is also home to many local businesses, as well as students, faculty, and staff at the nearby University of California – Santa Barbara.

The OTS grant will primarily be aimed at the education of school aged children at the 5 elementary schools in the City of Goleta consisting of Brandon, Elementary School, Ellwood Elementary School, Kellogg Elementary School, La Patera Elementary School, and Santa Barbara Charter School. The program will also include education at Goleta Valley Junior High School and Dos Pueblos High School. The grant will benefit over 280 elementary school aged children, over 750 junior high school students and over 2,100 high school aged students and benefits will extend to the larger Goleta community through special events, community events and public outreach messaging.

Describe the problem(s) to be addressed, supported by current and relevant crash data. (most recent calendar year data/stats).

The City uses Crossroads as the local traffic crash database to store and track crash data. Available crash data was analyzed for the most current 3 years which is from 2021 – 2023. Crash data was queried for 2024. However, crash data input into the City’s Crossroads database is lagging by over 6 months and crash data for 2024 was incomplete. Therefore 2023 had the most recent complete year for traffic crash data.

Crash data over the 3-year period shows that Goleta has experienced a total of 77 injury crashes involving bicycles and pedestrians and a total of 4 fatal crashes which involved pedestrians. In one case, the fatality involved a pedestrian under the age of 15. Of the 46 crashes resulting in injury to bicyclists, bicyclists under the age of 15 made up 20% of these with a total of 9 children being injured. Of the 32 crashes involving pedestrians and resulting in injury, 10% of these crashes involved children under 15 years of age. There was also one fatal crash involving a child under the age of 15. A percentage of these crashes involved unsafe behavior exhibited by the bicyclist or pedestrian. One disturbing trend is that injury crashes involving bicyclists under the age of 15 has increased in the most recent year crash data. It is speculated that the rise in in injuries resulting from bicycle crashes may be attributed to the rising popularity of the use of electric bicycles (e-bikes) by Goleta school aged children.

The City of Goleta and County of Santa Barbara have seen a rise in e-bike users. The number of youth ages 12-18 riding e-bikes has heavily increased. E-bikes increase students' access, build independence, and are environmentally friendly modes of transportation. Recent bike counts show that 51 of Goleta Valley Junior High Students are e-bike riders. At Dos Pueblos High School 120 students are e-bike riders. Unfortunately, every year there are e-bike related crashes with serious injuries and even fatalities. According to the California Highway Patrol, there were more than 9,600 bicycle-involved crashes in California in 2022, 225 of which involved an e-bike (an increase over 80 the prior year), four of which resulted in fatal injuries.

Although there is excitement for the new opportunities e-bikes bring, there is a great need to ensure young riders and drivers are educated in traffic safety and sharing the road.

Recent mobility counts show that 18% of Kellogg Elementary students walk to school, with 13% biking. At Brandon Elementary 28% of students walk, and 16% bike. At Ellwood and La Patera Elementary School, 10% percent of students walk and over 15% of students bike. These figures highlight the community’s strong reliance on active transportation and the urgent need to ensure safe and accessible routes to schools.

Goleta area school personnel and parents have expressed concerns for the safety of school aged children who walk or bike to school, often relaying experiences of near misses for their students and their own children when traveling to and from school and to school bus stops.

As with most agencies, the City strives to eliminate all traffic fatalities and severe injuries, and increasing awareness of all users is a key component. The City of Goleta is committed to the safety of its residents, visitors, and commuters. In line with its Safety Action Plan, the city has adopted a Vision Zero resolution, which sets the goal of eliminating fatalities and serious injuries resulting from road traffic. To achieve this vision, a comprehensive joint planning initiative is being proposed that encompasses public awareness and plan implementation. Through adoption of a Safe System Approach, the City continues to work toward achieving a reduction of crashes resulting in serious injury or death. One component of the Safe System approach is that safety is proactive. Through outreach and education, vulnerable users can be armed with tools necessary to become more aware and able to safely navigate the roadway network.

The City continues to lay the groundwork to identify and address safety concerns. Goleta is prioritizing safety in its planning processes, and the City has taken steps to enhance all modal safety throughout the City. At the beginning of 2024, the city adopted Vision Zero approach to eliminate serious crashes on public roads. In 2022 the City adopted its Traffic Safety Plan (TSP), which is comprised of a Local Roadway Safety Plan (LRSP) and Systemic Safety Analysis Report (SSAR). This is the City’s ‘Safety Action Plan.’ The TSP analyzed the safety data and trends within the city from 2014-2019 and identified several potential improvements at key locations as well as citywide improvements. The TSP will be used to further advance the City’s commitment to safety and will be used to guide decision-making as projects and opportunities arise. The TSP was developed with special attention to pedestrian and bicycle safety countermeasures to improve safe mobility throughout the city, given that those users are the most vulnerable and are disproportionately likely to be injured or killed in a traffic crash. One of the goals of the City’s TSP is to analyze safety data to enhance bicyclist and pedestrian infrastructure to impact safety. Objectives include a) evaluating risk and crash history to identify safety countermeasures, b) Identify systemic improvements that can be implemented at locations with similar characteristics to improve bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure to encourage increased use by all age groups, c) identify non-infrastructure improvements (policies and programs) that can be implemented to encourage safe behaviors, and d) encourage increased walking for recreational and other purposes by developing an interconnected safe, convenient, and visually attractive pedestrian system. The OTS grant would help the City to achieve several objectives identified in the report.

The City of Goleta Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan identifies 37 short- and intermediate-term infrastructure projects to provide improvements for active transportation users. The Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan also includes 8 Policy Goals, and 6 Key Performance Measures, aligned with improving bicycling and walking in Goleta. GOAL 6: BICYCLING AND WALKING ENCOURAGEMENT identifies 8 sub- polices related to promoting programs to foster biking and walking in our community. GOAL 7: BICYCLING AND WALKING PROJECT PARTNERING AND FUNDING, identifies 7 sub-policies related to seeking funding and partnering with local community and non-profit organizations to further education, training, facilities, and ultimately improve the safety of biking and walking for all users. Lastly, GOAL 4: BICYCLIST AND WALKER SAFETY, identifies 4 sub-policies striving to improve safety for bicyclists and pedestrians of all user types. The City has also recently completed several safety improvement projects aimed at bicyclists and pedestrians. Making the city streets safer through infrastructure improvements and education to change poor driving habits are long term goals, but in the meantime, young people need to be educated about how to become more aware of other roadway users to avoid and prevent crashes with motor vehicles when walking and biking. Education provided to students on how to safely use a new green bike lane, or how to properly cross at a crossing controlled by rapid flashing beacons or a pedestrian hybrid beacon helps to build confidence, quell confusion, and promote healthy active modes of transportation. Many kids think they are invincible, thinking motorists will automatically see them. They think crosswalks make it safe to cross, that they are “good” bike riders and don’t need a helmet, that jumping up a curb lip is all a part of fun bike riding. They don’t think about low-light conditions, drivers being distracted, or drivers in a hurry. Teaching students today how to be a safe pedestrian and bicyclist will help to increase their awareness of bicyclists and pedestrians in the future when they become operators of a motor vehicle.

Define the target population the grant intends to serve and how they are affected by the problem(s).

The Office of Traffic Safety Grant will primarily be aimed at the education of school aged children at the 5 elementary schools in the City of Goleta consisting of Brandon, Elementary School, Ellwood Elementary School, Kellogg Elementary School, La Patera Elementary School, and Santa Barbara Charter School. The program will also include education at Goleta Valley Junior High School and Dos Pueblos High School.

Results of transportation mode surveys conducted at each school in 2023 showed an average of 22% of the students walk or bike to school each day. This number shows a slight increase from pre-pandemic numbers. 8 8/26/2025 11:09:38 AM Page 5 of 20

For schools such as La Patera and Goleta Valley Junior High School many students alternatively walk to school bus stops. The students who require busing to school are mainly from the Goleta Old Town Area.

This area is bounded by US 101 to the north and the Santa Barbara Airport to the south. Goleta’s Old Town area has been historically classified as a disadvantaged community through U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, using Census Block data, and local free school lunch program data. Old Town Goleta has three Communities of Concern with over 25% zero-car households which are reliant on alternative modes of transportation. In addition, there are no schools located in the Old Town Area, and children are bused to La Patera or Kellogg elementary schools and Goleta Valley Junior High School located on the north side of US 101. Students who walk or bike from Old Town to Goleta Valley Junior High School are exposed to many barriers having to cross over US 101 via a busy arterial street and through busy interchanges. Education and Outreach on bicycle and pedestrian safety gives active transportation users the knowledge tools.
