Introduction

There is a strategic reliance on collision information engaging Ontario road safety success. Information from collision reports is used in safety policy development and research, identifying priorities for safety programs and evaluating program effectiveness. Collision data analysis leads to traffic engineering improvements, directly contributing to a safe and efficient transportation system.

The ministry, with the co-operation and collaboration of partners and stakeholders, has created an integrated and electronic collision reporting system. Police Services throughout the province can submit collision data through electronic file transfers or record collisions directly in a secure web application. The new Collision System will achieve efficiencies in timeliness and accuracy of collision information, leading to safer road users, safer road infrastructure and safer vehicles. Working together, the safest roads in the world can be achieved!
