Our Partners
The BCAA Traffic Safety Foundation can only achieve its mission with the support and participation of many diverse partners. We are continuing to broaden and strengthen our base of partner support among government, corporate and community leaders as well as BCAA members.
Ongoing funding is critical to the development of effective traffic safety programs that will reduce the number and severity of crashes and injuries on our roads. The Traffic Safety Foundation provides leadership by focusing our strengths and resources together with those of our partners toward meeting this goal.
Together, we are reducing the number of unnecessary tragedies on BC’s roads.
