SAVE - Traffic Offender Intervention Program

​

​

The Traffic Offender Program (TOIP) is an educational intervention designed for individuals who have committed traffic offences. It aims to improve driver behaviour, raise awareness of road safety laws, and reduce repeat offenses. These programs are often mandated by courts, law enforcement agencies, Probation and Parole, Community Corrections, Solicitors, or licensing authorities for drivers who have violated traffic laws.
