After a tragic year on Calgary streets, marked by a rise in traffic-related deaths, the Calgary Police Commission (CPC) is preparing to review a strengthened strategy aimed at reversing the trend. At its final meeting of the year on Wednesday evening, commissioners will dedicate substantial attention to the 2026 Traffic Safety Plan.
The updated plan reaffirms the city’s Joint Safer Mobility commitment, which centres on outreach, public education, and targeted enforcement. Calgary Police Service (CPS) traffic officers report they will continue collaborating with all police districts to guide action plans and enforcement strategies.
Key efforts for next year include increasing the presence of uniformed officers, expanding community engagement, and improving safety messaging. CPS also plans to partner closely with city departments to enhance physical road-safety measures and signage.
According to the report, this collaboration is expected to support data-driven decisions on measures ranging from adjustments to automated traffic enforcement to new engineering solutions for safer road design. The strategy will also examine photo radar deployment, conventional policing, signal timing, and traffic-calming redesigns aimed at slowing drivers down and reducing collision risk.
