      Historique

      The Road User Safety Division (not to be confused with the Road User Safety Branch) was established in 2002 during a minor ministry re-organization. The division was largely formed from the former Safety and Regulation Division.

      In its early form, the division included the following offices: Business Services Branch; Carrier Safety and Enforcement Branch; Operations Office; Field Operations Branch; Licensing and Control Branch - Planning; and Projects and Change Management Branch. While undergoing some re-organization over the years, the division's basic activities have remained relatively constant. A more recent structure included the following: Carrier Safety and Enforcement Branch; Licensing Services Branch; Organizational Development and Controllership Branch; Program Development and Evaluation Branch; Regional Operations Branch; Road User Services Modernization Branch; Safety Policy and Education Branch; and Service Delivery Partnerships Branch. One notable change was the outsourcing of driver examination and licensing services to DriveTest centres, operated by a British company called the Serco Group. The change came into effect in 2003.

          Notes de maintenance

          The Road User Safety Division is arguably largely the same as the Safety and Regulation Division which came before it rather than a new division. Due to a severe lack of time, this avenue has not been explored as the latter division goes back to at least the early 1990s if not earlier. In future, this authority could be updated to trace back the history of that division.
