In November 2017, City Council approved the transfer of the School Crossing Guard Program from Toronto Police Service (TPS) to Transportation Services, with long-term services to be provided through a third-party service provider starting August 1, 2019. The transition of the program to Transportation Services represents an opportunity for more oversight of the School Crossing Guard Program, its reliability and its positioning within Vision Zero activities focused on the safety of children.

Following the award of the School Crossing Guard program to Carraway Inc. and ASP Inc., Council requested that Transportation Services report back on the transition of the program, including the number of existing TPS school crossing guards who were hired and remained at their previous locations. City staff have been working closely with the two contracted vendors, Carraway Inc. and ASP Inc. to provide the existing school crossing guards the first opportunity to be hired. The purpose of this report is to provide an update on the program rollout at the start of school, outlining the vendors' process for hiring existing school crossing guards and the number of school guards that were retained, as well as the vendors' process for ensuring 100% coverage at all locations.
