It provides curriculum‑based pedestrian and bike safety for elementary schools, adult crossing guards at over 200 school zones, and a walking school bus program to promote active lifestyles. The council also offers motorcycle instruction and licensing on behalf of the MTO, car seat safety through its Best Fit program, and outreach initiatives for all road users. With a legacy of more than five decades in accident prevention, Ottawa Safety Council distinguishes itself by combining education, advocacy, and community engagement to reduce road incidents for people of all ages.
