Sustainability End Goal

Ideally zero traffic-related injuries. Aim for the same safety level as Sweden, a global leader in road safety that currently has fewer than 180 injuries per 100,000 population.

Metric

180 injuries per 100,000 population in a year
Number of traffic-related fatalities per 100,000 population in a year

How The Score Is Calculated

If the number of traffic-related injuries per 100,000 population in a year is 600, the score is 180/600=30%. This is an exception where the metric needs an adjustment (Refer to B4 Approach). When the performance (number of traffic-related injuries per 100,000 population in a year) should be lower than the sustainability end goal (180 injuries per 100,000 population in a year), the metric is inverted so the performance appears in the denominator.

Rationale and Analysis

Why We Measure This

The City Plan states we should work towards eliminating traffic related serious injuries on the city street network. Road safety is a top priority for enhancing active mobility.

How We Measure It

The City’s Transportation Team receives and reviews annual data on traffic-related injuries from the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia.
