What it does

Multimodal and Road Safety Programs delivers a Road Safety program that endeavors to make Canada’s roads and vehicles the safest in the world; provides strategic leadership in developing and implementing regulations, multi-modal frameworks and strategies that encompass horizontal requirements across Transport Canada.

Our Program’s priorities are to reduce the number of motor vehicle injuries and fatalities on Canada’s roads by actively protecting and improving road and motor vehicle safety. Working with stakeholders, we: develop evidence-based policies, legislation and regulations concerning the safety requirements for motor carriers, new domestic and imported motor vehicles, tires and child restraints that provide Canadians with high levels of safety. Multimodal and Road Safety Programs also participates in the development of international standards, provides a regulatory framework that encourages innovation and the development of new safety technologies and develops non-regulatory tools and guidance for vehicle cyber security. Our Program studies the potential for improvements to motor vehicle crash protection and collision avoidance systems through vehicle test programs and the in-depth investigation of real-world collisions. This research determines the need for new or amended regulations and standards in both the North American and global context.
