Abstract<\/b>:<\/h2>\n

Context
\nRoad safety is disparate and multi-disciplinary and as such achieving significant and sustained progress depends on many partners working together.\u00a0 In this spirit, the BC Road Safety Strategy, led by the Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles, is the culmination of work by over 30 organizations, both within and outside of government,and five working groups who contributed to it over a two year period.<\/p>\n

The strategy contains the vision that British Columbia will have the safest roads in North America and will work toward the ultimate goal of zero traffic fatalities and zero serious injuries.\u00a0 The strategy has been made available to the public and can be accessed at: http:\/\/www.pssg.gov.bc.ca\/osmv\/road-safety\/road-safety-strategy.htm<\/p>\n
