Associates Program

Associates Program

Shape the road safety agenda. The CCMTA Associates Program connects industry leaders, researchers, and organizations with the government members who set Canada's motor transport policy — through structured collaboration, not just networking. Join a community that moves road safety forward. 

As a CCMTA Associate, your organization gains a recognized place within Canada's national road safety ecosystem. You'll receive direct access to CCMTA initiatives, early visibility into emerging issues, and by-invitation opportunities to contribute your expertise where it matters most — at the committee level, alongside government decision-makers. This is purposeful engagement, designed around your sector's role and scaled to your organization's level of commitment.

Who Should Join?

The CCMTA Associates Program is open to organizations whose work intersects with road safety, motor transport administration, and the policies that govern them. If your organization has a vested interest in how Canada moves people and goods safely, there is a place for you here. 

Individual & Independent Professionals Consultants: Subject matter experts, retired public sector professionals, and sole proprietors who contribute specialized knowledge to the road safety and motor transport field. 

Academic & Research Institutions Universities: Colleges, research centres, and institutes conducting work in transportation safety, public policy, driver behaviour, vehicle technology, or related disciplines.
