Dr. Regehr was honoured at the 2023 TAC Conference & Exhibition held in Ottawa Canada on September 24, 2023 for his continuous, effective leadership during 10 or more years of active participation on TAC councils and committees, and who have earned a reputation among other TAC volunteers for their dedication, collaboration, knowledge and integrity.

Dr. Jonathan Regehr, University of Manitoba

After joining TAC’s Road Safety Standing Committee in 2012, Jonathan volunteered to chair the new Road Safety Professional Subcommittee. In that role, he led development of a report that recommended a new Road Safety Professional (RSP) designation, and he was eventually appointed to the North American steering committee that guided the RSP certification to its 2018 launch. As part of the subcommittee’s work, he also led an assessment of road safety engineering education and a synthesis of road safety content in engineering textbooks.

In 2018, Jonathan joined the former Education and Human Resources Development Council (now Workforce Development Council) and became the inaugural Chair of its Education Committee in 2021. In that role, he has built the committee’s membership and guided its progress, encouraging the use of TAC publications for instruction and working toward greater student awareness of transportation.

Jonathan actively cultivates a culture of congeniality and collaboration in TAC councils and committees. He has encouraged many young professionals to get involved in TAC, and by doing so has contributed to the strength and future of the organization.
