The SAAQ offers teaching tools to high school teachers, police forces as well as other professionals who work with youth in order to bring students to adopt safe behaviour on the road.
The Road Safety Ambassadors program aims to name Secondary 5 students who will become road safety messengers. Peer-to-peer outreach, encouraging safe behaviours and sharing experiences and solutions are at the heart of the program.
It was launched in the Montérégie region in 2013. The initiative, developed by the Agglomération de Longueuil police department, the McGill University Health Centre and the Société de l’assurance automobile du Québec, has led to the deployment of the program throughout Québec.
The ready-made documents can be easily adapted to fit the reality of each classroom.
It is possible to organize a health care facility visit to educate the ambassadors about the reality of traffic accident victims.

To motivate students to adopt responsible behaviour on the road, we created the pact for life.
By signing it, they make a commitment never to drive while impaired by alcohol, drugs or fatigue and never to get into a car with a driver who is or may be impaired.
