Road safety under no fault coming…
The venue has changed with the coming of no fault since May 1st 2021.
Working group being sot
The BC government is looking for a working group to deal with road safety issues around deaths and serious injury. The crown insurer went to a no fault system with a promise for more ” care” for injuries to go with a promised 20 percent rate drop from May 1st 2021.
On May 21, the provincial government launched BC Road Safety Strategy 2025: A Collaborative Framework for Road Safety. Guided by the Road Safety Strategy Steering Committee, of which UBCM is a member, this revitalized strategy provides a clear vision of provincial road safety to 2025.
BC Road Safety Strategy 2025 is based on three pillars and is rooted in the vision of realizing zero fatalities and serious injuries on BC roads. The three pillars are:
- Working Together for The Future of Road Safety;
- Tools to Make Our Roads Safer; and,
- Inspiring British Columbians To Make Safe Road Choices.
The framework outlines the tools, initiatives, awareness campaigns and enforcement programs that are creating a road safety network in BC. It recognizes that road safety is a shared responsibility, and supports a vision for working together to reduce fatalities and serious injuries.
In alignment with Canada’s commitment to and BC’s adoption of the 2020 Stockholm Declaration, the Strategy seeks for a 50% reduction in road-related deaths and injuries by 2030.
In addition to the full Strategy, the Province has released an “at-a-glance” summary outlining key objectives and targets
History 2014 working group.
The working groups are intended to assist a 14 member Executive Committee established to implement the Provincial BC Road Safety Strategy. The British Columbia Road Safety Strategy was developed to align with Canada’s Road Safety Strategy 2015. The strategy is intended to be a collaborative process and provide a framework for mobilizing all stakeholders in improving road safety and in raising public awareness and commitment to road safety. The overall goal of the strategy is to make British Columbia roads the safest in North America and to work toward the ultimate goal of zero traffic fatalities and serious injuries.
If you are interested in working on one of these committees please identify the committee you are interested in and contact Ken Vance at kvance@ubcm.ca by March 26, 2014.
Information about the strategy is available on the OSMV website.
