Drinking and Driving in Canada and USA: What the Latest Data Tells Us
CARSP Webinar Series
Date/Time
Date(s) - December 18, 2025
12:00 pm EST - 1:00 pm EST
The objective of this webinar is to present the most recent and comprehensive picture of alcohol-impaired driving in Canada, using newly collected 2025 Road Safety Monitor (RSM) data and the updated national impaired-driving fatality trend from 1996 to 2022. The session prioritizes helping Canadian policymakers, practitioners, and community stakeholders understand current levels of concern, self-reported drinking and driving behaviour, and shifts in risk perception among Canadian drivers. To further contextualize these findings, the webinar will also provide select comparative insights from 10 years of U.S. Road Safety Monitoring (2015–2024). These comparisons will highlight similarities and differences in behavioural trends, and supporting evidence-informed prevention and enforcement strategies.
