The Region of Waterloo, the local municipalities, and the Waterloo Regional Police Service (WRPS) are concerned with road safety, and particularly with the increase in the number of collisions occurring in the area. More than 12,000 collisions occur annually on Regional and local roads, of which approximately 9,000 are of a reportable nature. Staff from the Region, the WRPS and the local municipalities has developed a traffic safety program to reduce the number of collisions and to address the targets established by Canada's Road Safety Vision. A working group was established and it developed a vision statement, objectives, and sub-targets to achieve a reduction in the number of collisions on the region's roads.
