269 British Columbians lost their lives last year on our roads.

The Province is taking a first step in what will be a two-part approach to protect British Columbians from distracted drivers on roads and highways.

After 48 sitting days, representing an estimated 330 hours of debate, government has delivered a successful legislative session that supports throne speech promises to control spending, open new markets and attract new investment, improve infrastructure, protect our environment and modernize B.C.'s laws.

Graduation season is fast approaching, so the Government of B.C. is reminding anyone hiring a charter bus service as part of the celebrations, to keep a number of important things in mind.

The Easter long weekend is a popular time for a spring getaway, but drivers are reminded that highways will be busy and road conditions may remain winter-like and dangerous in some parts of B.C.

In recognition of the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims, and to honour the memory of those lost on our roads, the Province is committing to reducing preventable deaths on B.C.'s roads and becoming the safest jurisdiction in North America by 2020.
