Walking as an active mode of transportation or leisure activity has many benefits, not only for the individual who walks but also for society at large. However, due to a lack of personal protection and/or suitable infrastructure, pedestrians are vulnerable on the road. This section provides access to TIRF’s research on this topic.

“The work we are doing with TIRF and the Action2Zero learning centre they developed with funding provided by Desjardins, may have saved our non-profit. We have been waiting for a comprehensive way to gather intel around community road safety so we can mobilize and support communities to develop a comprehensive road traffic safety plan. TIRF is a trusted road safety research institute and having their expertise support our organization has been invaluable, we hope to continue working directly with TIRF and Desjardins to deploy the Action2Zero assessment in more communities across Alberta and beyond.”
