RSV 2010 - 2001 Update
|
 |
| The adoption of Road Safety Vision 2010 by the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) and the official endorsement
of the new road safety targets by all Ministers of Transportation and Highway Safety in the fall of 2000 provided Canada’s road safety
community with benchmarks against which to develop new strategies and measure intervention efforts.
Previous Road Safety Vision reports introduced the program, outlined successful road safety initiatives implemented in Canada and other
leading countries and described the success of the program to date. This report outlines proposed and recently implemented strategies
aimed at achieving or surpassing the targets intrinsic to Road Safety Vision 2010. |
Canada’s Road Safety Vision 2010 is a national undertaking
aimed at making Canada’s roads the safest in the world. Road
Safety Vision 2010 is an enhanced plan that supersedes
Canada’s inaugural national road safety plan, Road Safety
Vision 2001, which was officially launched in 1996.
The renewed plan continues to be supported by all levels
of government, as well as by instrumental public and private
sector stakeholders. It also emphasizes the use of a broad
range of initiatives that focus on road users, roadways
and motor vehicles. The strategic goals of Road Safety
Vision 2010 are to:
- raise public awareness of road safety issues;
- improve communication, cooperation and collaboration among road safety agencies;
- enhance enforcement measures; and
- improve national road safety data quality and collection.
