ESTABLISHING AN INTEGRATED ROAD SAFETY SYSTEM IN OTTAWA

In 2000, the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police Service initiated a process to enhance the integration of the road safety initiatives of its internal departments (public health, engineering, communications, and marketing) and police services. It was recognized that integration was key to increase efficiency and effectiveness of reducing collision frequency and severity in a setting where funds are scant and pressure on infrastructure is growing. This paper provides a structured look at an integrated system (referencing Ottawa's), its components, and the process to address a road safety concern using one of the City's potential emphasis areas, "Increasing Safety of the City's Young Drivers."
