Taking Back our Roads is a strategy to eliminate impaired driving in Canada. It is intended to provide the necessary context for a meaningful dialogue with the Federal Government on the legislative steps it must take to effectively address impaired driving in Canada.

The initiatives found within are supported by public opinion research confirming Canadians’ desire for new, effective approaches to fighting impaired driving. There is an overwhelming sense of injustice regarding the needless tragedy of alcohol related crashes. In addition, research illustrates that Canadian laws have fallen behind the more progressive laws of comparable democratic countries. The public opinion and international research in Taking Back our Roads help place our Canadian impaired driving policies and the proposed initiatives into context.

Taking Back our Roads provides a snapshot of where Canada stands today compared to other countries - and how the Federal Government can improve its legislation to eliminate impaired driving. It is presented as a tool for the public, media and particularly for legislators, who want to reduce impaired driving.
