The success of the Safer City program depends on the community. The identification of safety issues by the community is critical to the success of the initiative. The identification and evaluation of potential solutions by the community is of equal importance.

The community is encouraged to play an active role by participating in community programs such as:

• Safer School Travel assists Parent Advisory Councils (PACs) to identify road safety issues, develop realistic measures, and implement a School Road Safety Plan at their individual schools.
• Speed Watch is a community driven program that raises public awareness of the actual speeds drivers are traveling.
• Community Consultation involves the identification of safety issues and the identification and evaluation of potential solutions by the community.
