Road Safety Education & Resources

Keeping children safe on our roads takes more than rules—it takes knowledge.

Check out the OSC’s education programs and resources to support safer walking, cycling and vehicle travel, helping families, schools, parents and communities build safer habits, safer road users and reduce risk in school zones.

WalkSafe Program

WalkSafe builds the skills children need to be safe and confident pedestrians.

Through age-appropriate education and practical safety guidance, WalkSafe helps children understand traffic risks, make safer decisions, and navigate school zones and neighbourhoods more safely.
