The International Centre for the Prevention of Crime (ICPC) has reached a major milestone in its ambitious pan-Canadian study on public transit safety: leading experts in transportation, urban planning, and sustainable mobility are joining the project to strengthen its scientific and operational scope.
This multidisciplinary collaboration includes partners from UQAM, Concordia University, University of Toronto, INRS-UCS, CUTA, and Leading Mobility. Together, they bring complementary expertise to address pressing safety issues affecting transit users and workers, with a focus on vulnerable populations.The study covers Montréal, Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, and Edmonton and combines literature reviews, stakeholder interviews, and exploratory walks with diverse user groups.
Findings will feed into local and national recommendations to enhance safety, strengthen public confidence, and support inclusive urban mobility.
