Alberta Traffic Safety Plan
Alberta’s Traffic Safety Plan: Saving Lives on Alberta’s Roads (pdf 604 kb) is a comprehensive strategy designed to reduce traffic-related deaths and injuries in the province. It outlines key initiatives to help prevent motor vehicle collisions, build safer roads, enforce traffic laws, and better educate all Albertans about traffic safety.
The Traffic Safety Plan was developed in response to the McDermid Report, “Saving Lives on Alberta’s Roads: Report and Recommendations for a Traffic Collision Fatality and Injury Reduction Strategy.” The McDermid Report was the result of an independent review of the government’s traffic safety programs aimed at finding the most effective ways to change driver habits and reduce collisions.
The Alberta Traffic Safety Action Plan is a three-year strategy that was developed to ensure that the specific activities of the Traffic Safety Plan are implemented in a manageable time frame.
Annual operational plans were also developed to help move the strategies forward:

Alberta Traffic Safety Plan Calendar
Input from traffic safety stakeholders helped to create the Traffic Safety Plan Calendar which provides a province-wide coordinated approach that highlights priority traffic safety topics each month.
Enforcement agencies, Regional Traffic Safety Coordinators and several other stakeholders work together using an integrated strategy to ensure enforcement and communications campaigns are aligned with the Traffic Safety Plan Calendar.

Communications and education play a vital role in the implementation of the TSP. The overarching communications strategy is outlined in the three-year
