ICBC ditching ads- putting more money into traffic enforcement

Nov 28, 2018 | 6:16 AM

 VICTORIA – The Insurance Corporation of British Columbia is slashing its advertising budget in half and redirecting the funds toward police traffic enforcement.

    Attorney General David Eby says high risk drivers are ignoring the corporation’s road safety messages.

    He says channelling advertising funds directly to enforcement will offer the chance to deliver the message directly to risky drivers.

    Starting in the next fiscal year, the insurance corporation will add $2.4 million to enhanced traffic enforcement.

    The Ministry of the Attorney General  says that will boost the public insurer’s investment in direct safety traffic programs to $24.8 million.
