Mayor Brown Prioritizes Back-to-School Safety - 09 Sep 26

Brampton · September 09, 2026

have a great first day. Um, we wanted to outline some themes today about what the city of Brampton is doing uh to ensure road safety. Um, it's an exciting time for students and families, but it's also an important reminder for every driver in our city, slow down, stay alert, and put safety first. When you enter a school zone, take your foot off the gas, put your phone away, watch for children crossing the street, and respect our crossing guards. I'm joined by one of them here today, uh Cheryl. Um, when a school bus stops, it's um red lights start flashing and the stop arm comes out, you stop. There is nowhere you need to be worth putting a child's safety at risk. As students prepare to travel to and from school, I would like to remind parents that e-scooter and e-bike riders must be 16 years of age or older and only regulated e-scooters and e-bikes are permitted in Brampton. You know, when it comes to road safety, this is something our council takes very seriously and I'm joined by Councillor Santos, Councillor Keenan, Councillor Santos, and Councillor Medeiros.
