The strategy attempts to update the goals laid out in the 2018 Strategic Road Safety Framework and envisions zero road fatalities and injuries by 2038. It also includes a goal of maintaining a downward trend in the rate of fatal and serious collisions per 100,000 residents.Peter Zimmer, a board member of the Halifax Cycling Coalition, says the new strategy sets its goals too far into the future.

Many critics of the strategy took aim at the use of the per-100,000-people metric to measure a potential decrease in injuries and fatalities.
