California Pedestrian Safety Month
Tuesday, September 01, 2026 at 06:00 AM through September 30, 2026
Walk, Roll, and Share the RoadSeptember is California Pedestrian Safety Month, a time to recognize that everyone deserves to move safely through our communities, whether they are walking, rolling, biking, taking transit, or driving.
This month, help make every trip safer by staying alert, slowing down, and looking out for one another. Drivers can follow the speed limit, avoid distractions, and be prepared to stop for people walking at marked and unmarked crosswalks. People walking can use crosswalks when available, look both ways, make eye contact with drivers, and stay visible --especially at night.
Safer streets are a shared responsibility. Take the pledge to keep your eyes up, your phone down, and your community moving safely.
What’s the Deal with California’s High-Speed Rail? A re-introduction to America's largest infrastructure project
Tuesday, September 15, 2026 at 06:00 PM
Virtual Event
California is home to 1 in 10 Americans. Two thirds of those Californians live along a single 600-mile stretch from the Bay Area through the Central Valley to Los Angeles and San Diego. It's no secret that traffic in California is terrible and airports are a huge hassle – which is why California is building a new high-speed train that will take millions of people where they need to go with ease.
But what’s actually happening with the project? What progress has been made, when can we expect to start using it, and what roadblocks can be cleared out of the way to get the high-speed trains running sooner in California?
Tune in to this webinar to get re-introduced to America’s largest infrastructure project under construction, learn how it’s already improving the lives of millions of Californians, and see what we can all do to help get it built sooner.
About the host:
Move California is creating a statewide Transit Justice movement led by transit riders and dedicated to building, maintaining, and operating abundant, safe, and affordable public and active transportation for Californians of every race, gender, identity, ability, and class.
