Vision Zero acknowledges that collisions are inevitable but that killed and seriously injured (KSI) collisions on the roads of Toronto are preventable and unacceptable. The Toronto Police Service is committed to Vision Zero and to working collaboratively with our partner agencies in pursuit of this vision.

The "Slow Down Toronto" campaign will start on Monday, March 19, 2018 and conclude on Sunday, April 1, 2018. During this campaign, the Toronto Police Service will focus traffic enforcement efforts on offences identified as major contributors to KSI collisions. These include offences such as speeding, distracted driving, and all offences indicating aggressive driving behaviour.
