The STRID 2010 objective is to reduce by 40% the percent of fatalities and serious injuries involving a drinking driver by 2010. An examination of indicators of the alcohol-crash problem reveals that mostly decreases have occurred in Canada since STRID 2010 was launched in 2002. The STRID 2010 strategy also focuses on a number of key target groups including hard core drinking drivers, new/young drivers, social drinkers, and first-sanctioned drivers. More information about STRID 2010 is found on the CCMTA website http://www.ccmta.ca. In April 2003, TIRF was commissioned by CCMTA and Transport Canada to prepare monitoring reports describing progress in addressing the impaired driving problem during 2002, 2003, 2004, and 2005. This report describes work to date on the 2005 monitoring report. The report is divided into the following sections: Section 2.0, Overview of Progress, describes the extent to which STRID 2010 recommendations have been met in each jurisdiction in 2005 and 2006. Section 3.0, Changes in the Alcohol-Crash Problem, examines whether progress has been made toward the STRID 2010 objective of a 40% reduction in the percent of fatalities and serious injuries involving a drinking driver. Section 4.0, Province/Territory Profiles, describes impaired driving initiatives and programs either ongoing or introduced in 2005 and 2006 in each jurisdiction as well as trends in the drinking driving problem and the contemporary magnitude of the problem. Appendix A contains summary sheets describing new STRID initiatives in the areas of education, legislation and assessment and rehabilitation. Appendix B contains the list of other agencies identified by the CCMTA Standing Committee as contacts for the project. (Author/publisher)
