Alberta Traffic Safety Plan
The Alberta government has taken on the challenge of improving traffic safety by moving ahead with a
comprehensive, made-in-Alberta Traffic Safety Plan (ATSP). Alberta's Traffic Safety Plan: Saving Lives on
Alberta's Roads, released on November 2, 2006, is a comprehensive strategy designed to reduce trafficrelated
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 supports and is consistent with Road Safety Vision 2010, Canada's road safety plan (RSV2010).
Alberta's Traffic Safety Plan has adopted the RSV 2010 targets for Alberta.
The Alberta Traffic Safety Plan comprises numerous strategies in key areas.
• Leadership and coordination
• Effective communication
• Community Traffic Safety
• Public education and awareness
• Research and evidence-based decisions
• Sustained enforcement
• Legislation based on best practices
• Safety based engineering practices
