The third and final phase of engagement on the Road Safety Strategic Action Plan project launches today, allowing Winnipeggers the chance hear about the City’s road safety vision and goal and share thoughts on a series of draft focus areas and actions that will shape the City’s efforts to prevent serious injury and death on our roads.

At this time, we are offering two ways to get involved:
