Peel Police - Project E.R.A.S.E. - Provincial Enforcement Campaign Launch

Region of Peel – Peel Regional Police and our law enforcement partners from across the Greater Toronto Area are delivering the message that street racing and stunt driving will not be tolerated on the streets. 

Project ERASE launches Friday, June 15, 2018 and will run through the month of October 2018.

Excessive speed has consistently been the greatest contributing factor in many fatal collisions that have occurred in the Region of Peel. Street racers put themselves and unsuspecting road users at risk of death or serious injury when they choose to disobey traffic laws. They drive without due care and control and with a disregard for public safety.

Call 9-1-1 if you see dangerous driving practices that could cause personal injury or loss of life. When contacting police, try to note the vehicle’s location, direction of travel, make, model, licence plate number and driver’s description.

E.R.A.S.E. (Eliminate Racing Activity on Streets Everywhere) is an awareness and enforcement campaign operated jointly by police services across Ontario in partnership with the Government of Ontario, with the goal of eliminating street racing and other high-risk driving behaviours.

Aggressive driving and street racing are dangerous, unlawful activities which put innocent people at risk of injury or death. The real finish line may be court, fines, jail, vehicle seizure, a loss of driving privileges or even worse the hospital or the morgue.
