What is RoadHealth?
A coalition of agencies working together to reduce the high rates of injury and death due to motor vehicle crashes in Northern BC
Why RoadHealth?
- Motor vehicle crashes are preventable!
- People make choices about how and when they drive - there's no such thing as an "accident"
- Northern BC's injury and death rates are more than double the provincial average
- Increased natural resources development is putting a strain on road infrastructure and management resources
- Motor vehicle crashes are responsible for huge costs to health care system, insurance, loss of productivity, quality of life for individuals, families and Northern communities
- No one agency or body can do this by itself; collaboration, cooperation and communication are critical to working together towards the same goal
What does RoadHealth do?
- Provides a mechanism for communication, coordination and collaboration among Member Agencies
- Links Member Agencies with the broader Motor Vehicle Crash Reduction initiatives
- Provides information and advice to the public and government on the state of road safety in Northern BC
- Educates the public of Northern BC, and visitors, about hazards and conditions particular to Northern BC driving
