Street Smarts is a traffic calming program from the City of San José Department of Transportation, designed to make the streets a nicer and safer place, and ultimately to reduce the number of traffic-related accidents, injuries and deaths.

Street Smarts addresses traffic problems at the source: In the minds of drivers, pedestrians and cyclists. Its intent is to raise public awareness and discussion about our attitudes and actions on the streets. To remind us that laws are laws. And to offer new ways of thinking about the role each of us can play as part of a Street Smart solution.

With success in San José, we hope the program will spread to other cities, counties and states. In fact, we’re making our materials available to anyone interested in a Street Smarts program.
