Mission:

To educate and empower children, youth, and families to prioritize traffic safety through hands-on training, community involvement, and awareness campaigns.

The Toronto Police Service has identified Traffic Safety as a Service Priority. This priority was determined through extensive consultation with both members of the Service and members of the community, as well as from a comprehensive analysis of ongoing trends and anticipated challenges to the delivery of police services within the coming years.

The goal is to deliver effective and efficient traffic policing services aimed at reducing collisions and incidents of poor driving behavior, thereby reducing deaths and injuries, and to ensure the orderly movement of traffic on our city streets.

Members of Traffic Services Traffic Safety Programs, have designed a number of traffic safety initiatives that are active or being implemented into service. Some of these traffic safety programs operated in conjunction with provincial traffic safety programs while others were specific to traffic and community issues within Toronto. The success of any traffic safety campaign is not solely measured by level of enforcement accomplished, such as the number of tickets issued. Achieving an increased level of awareness and compliance with our traffic laws are of equal importance.

 

Core Objectives:

  1. Raise Awareness: Increase understanding of traffic safety among youth, parents, families and adults.
  2. Empower Communities: Equip youth, families, and adults with tools to navigate streets safely. Promote helmet use and safe cycling behaviors to decrease injury risks.
  3. Foster Responsibility: Involve youth, students, families, and adults as active participants in creating safer communities

By combining education, community involvement, and actionable strategies, the Traffic Safety Programs: Building Safer Communities aims to make traffic safety a shared priority, ensuring safer roads for everyone.
