Capital Region Intersection Safety Partnership

Motor vehicle collisions are a leading cause of injury-related death and disability among Capital Region residents. Each year, there are approximately 25,000 collisions in the region and over one in four results in injury or death. Each year two out of three injury collisions occur in intersections. To address this critical problem, stakeholders in Alberta’s Capital Region have combined efforts to reduce the frequency and severity of intersection collisions.

The Capital Region Intersection Safety Partnership (CRISP) is comprised of the following traffic safety and injury prevention stakeholders:

• City of Edmonton
• Strathcona County
• City of St. Albert
• Edmonton Police Service
• RCMP Sherwood Park Detachment
• RCMP St. Albert Detachment
• Alberta Motor Association
• Alberta Health Services
• Alberta Transportation Office of Trafic Safety
• City of Spruce Grove

CRISP shares resources and expertise to implement on-going, collaborative, and integrated intersection safety initiatives to reduce the frequency and severity of intersection collisions in the Capital Region. Initiatives involve integration of education, engineering, and enforcement strategies, and target four priorities: red light violations, pedestrian safety, speed and high crash locations.

The partnership has been working together since 2001 and has successfully implemented coordinated traffic safety campaigns with the long-term outcome of reducing traffic trauma.

The CRISP team is uniquely qualified to implement successful, comprehensive, and integrated traffic safety initiatives owing to a diverse and multi-sectoral group of experienced, skilled, and committed traffic safety and injury prevention stakeholders.
