Officers from the Metro Vancouver Transit Police Targeted Mobile Enforcement Team (TMET) led a one-day distracted driving enforcement initiative in Richmond, which resulted in over $66,000 in fines being issued in just eight hours.

On Tuesday, September 29, Transit Police TMET was joined by the Richmond RCMP Road Safety Unit in distracted driving enforcement below the Canada Line’s route of No. 3 Road. In all, 148 provincial violation tickets were issued, totaling $66,716. Of those, 106 were for use of electronic devices while driving, 25 were for seatbelt violations, one was for drive without insurance, and 16 others were for various other Motor Vehicle Act offences.

Volunteers from both police agencies were assisting the police officers, and numerous other drivers were given warning letters and educated about the dangers of distracted driving, which are documented by ICBC.

“Distracted driving is the second-leading contributing factor in all police-reported fatal crashes, following speeding. Decisions made behind the wheel can carry devastating, life-long consequences for a vehicle’s driver or occupants, or for the pedestrians who are just trying to make their way to and from transit safely.” – A/Sergeant Jazz Nijjar

Yesterday, we were honoured to have residential school survivor and Indigenous Elder Alice help us raise the Survivors Flag at Transit Police headquarters, ahead of the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation next week. The ceremony was led by our Indigenous Liaison Officer, A/Sgt Shiraaz Hanif, along with Chief Sharel and Band Manger Stacey of the Qayqayt First Nation, on whose ancestral land our headquarters is located. Former Blue Eagle Community Cadet Montana and her son set the tone with drums and songs. We are profoundly grateful to all of them for joining us. The moving ceremony was a powerful reminder of why Transit Police is dedicated to reconciliation.
