About ICBC
Road safety improvement program
Making your community safer
Safer roads mean fewer crashes, injuries and fatalities. Since 1990, ICBC has invested more than $240 million in over 9,000 projects across the lands now known as British Columbia.
As part of our commitment to Reconciliation, we’re expanding this program to work with more Indigenous communities. We recognize that Indigenous communities know their own needs best, and we want to support your ideas to make roads safer for everyone.

How we can support your community
If there’s a road, crossing or intersection in your community that feels unsafe, our road safety team can:
work with staff and leaders to identify risks and recommend updates
engage with your community and local road authorities to explore solutions
connect your community to resources and funding
Projects we can support
We can support you with building, installing and accessing funding for projects that reduce crash risk and improve safety.
Pedestrian safety improvements
We supported the installation of a new crosswalk and associated signage for the Ashcroft First Nation to improve the safety of pedestrians who want to cross over the roadway to access the Ashcroft Indian Band office, sports fields and campground.
Speed reduction improvements
Our team can work with your community to determine the best location for speed reader boards to prevent serious injuries. Our team supported the design and installation of two speed readers boards on Highway 16, near the community of Gitsegukla.
