Street Story is an online platform that allows you to report where you feel safe or unsafe on the street, or where you’ve had a crash or a near-miss. It’s free and easy to use, and it only takes a couple of minutes to make a report.

CRTP has partnered with UC Berkeley’s Safe Transportation Research and Education Center (SafeTREC), which developed Street Story, to bring the program to Humboldt County.

CRTP uses Street Story reports to help advocate for safety improvements for people walking and biking on the streets. Many other local agencies refer to Street Story reports too, from Caltrans to the City of Arcata to the County of Humboldt.

Help us make sure we have the information we need to increase traffic safety. Make a report!
