Implementation: The content and structure of CATSIP was developed on three parallel tracks: 1) SafeTREC staff surveyed California and national online sources of evidence-based active transportation resources, including websites, blogs, Twitter feeds, as well as online data and research sites, 2) working with a small advisory group and a website designer, SafeTREC staff developed a basic architecture for the site, built around the concepts of Walking and Biking Safer (enforcement and engineering) and Walking and Biking More (encouragement and education) and 3) after identifying information needs via outreach to municipalities, counties and relevant state agencies, and agency initiatives and executive directives, SafeTREC staff developed a list of pedestrian and bicycle master plans and state agency sources and case studies and tools. There are now more than 600 items on the site, with at least one piece of content for each of California’s 58 counties.
