ITRE Recommendations for a Sustainable, Statewide Focus on Commercial Vehicle Safety

In early 2006, the North Carolina Governor's Executive Committee on Highway Safety established a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Working Group. This is a multi-agency and multi-disciplinary group made up of representatives from the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), the NC Governor's Highway Safety Program (GHSP), the NC Trucking Association (NCTA), representatives from various trucking companies domiciled in North Carolina, representatives from the courts, local law enforcement, as well as representatives of the Motor Carrier Enforcement element of the NC State Highway Patrol (NCSHP).

ITRE, in its support of the NCSHP motor carrier enforcement program, was asked to provide input to the working group on what it believed to be the key elements of a sustainable, statewide, truck safety program. The presentation, delivered by Dr. Hughes, (provided below) is titled, "CMV Working Group Presentation." The presentation is, in essence, the same presentation delivered by Dr. Hughes to the Commercial Program Initiatives Committee of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) at its April 2006 conference in Hartford, Connecticut.
