Traffic Safety Plan

Grande Prairie Enforcement Services (GPES) is committed to road safety through the development of a viable Traffic Safety Plan.  This plan will focus on education, commercial vehicle inspections, vehicle defects, and general traffic enforcement, both moving and non-moving.  The Traffic Safety Plan is meant to be a living document, which will give the plan room to adjust to emerging trends and needs as they arise.
