ESV'01 GOVERNMENT OF CANADA STATUS REPORT

摘要

The responsibility for road safety in Canada is shared among the federal and the provincial/territorial governments. While the federal government is primarily responsible for the safety of new vehicles and inter-provincial commercial carriers, the provincial governments are responsible for the operation and maintenance of motor vehicles and the road infrastructure. Over the past 25 years, fatalities resulting from motor vehicle collisions have declined by over 50% despite the fact that the number of registered vehicles and licensed drivers have both doubled during this period of time.
