Who can become a CRSIF Road Safety Partner?

Driving schools and instructors, municipalities, health agencies, insurers, schools and corporate sponsors who advance community road safety may apply for the Road Safety Partner Badge.

Do participants receive certificates for CRSIF training?

Yes. All attendees of CRSIF professional-development webinars and workshops receive continuing-education certificates and access to the Resource Portal.

How are recognition awards decided?

Awards are judged by a cross-sector panel on measurable impact, innovation, collaboration, and alignment with Vision Zero.

Partnerships, Training & Recognition

Our Purpose

No single organization can eliminate road injuries and fatalities — but together, we can move Canada toward Vision Zero faster than ever.

The Partnerships, Training & Recognition pillar brings together the people who make road safety possible: driving instructors, municipalities, insurers, health organizations, educators, and businesses that care about their communities.

By creating shared platforms for learning, collaboration, and recognition, CRSIF builds a national network of changemakers — united by one mission: making every journey safe, equitable, and data-driven.

Partnerships Build Reach, Sustainability & Credibility

Partners expand CRSIF’s presence in schools, communities, and cities.
Training strengthens national capacity for safety innovation.
Recognition inspires more organizations to join the cause.

Together these activities create a long-term funding base (sponsorships, training fees, co-funded pilots) — reducing reliance on short-term grants.
