The Canadian experience with Road Safety Audits continues to be positive and accepted in one form or another across the country. A national educational programme implemented by the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) dramatically increased the number of qualified auditors. The instructors for the TAC programme were the authors of the TAC publication on Road Safety Audits and are all experienced auditors. The provinces of Alberta and British Columbia have produced Road Safety Audit manuals.
