Preliminary MCE Planning for CVSP and Size and Weight Plan Development

The following documents represent some of ITRE's input to the Motor Carrier Enforcement section of the NC State Highway Patrol as the Patrol's MCE unit prepares to develop its 2008-2009 Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan (CVSP) for submission to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). ITRE, who has provided CVSP analysis and program evaluation support to the MCSAP section since the late 1990s and to the MCE size and weight section for the past three years, has provided inputs in a number of areas: (a) the development of measures of effectiveness for MCSAP and size and weight enforcement programs, (b) the need to focus on the impacts of pending state legislation impacting large vehicle access to state roads, and (c) the need to address enforcement impacts of rising fuel costs. We have made these documents public because we believe they address problems that are not unique to North Carolina, and therefore may provide benefit to motor carrier enforcement personnel in other states as well.
