Safety, Design and Operations Council

This Council guides TAC in fulfilling its commitment to a safe and efficient transportation system with enhanced mobility and reduced death and injury for road users. It is a national forum for sharing information and addressing challenges related to road safety programs, geometric design and traffic operations as key elements of a safe system approach; it also offers a lens on priority issues for small municipalities.

Four committees support the Council:

Geometric Design Committee

Road Safety Committee

Small Municipalities Integrated Committee

Traffic Operations and Management Committee
