Commercial vehicle safety alliance
What Does the CVSA Do?
The primary mission of the CVSA is to promote commercial motor vehicle safety through effective enforcement of regulations and industry standards. Its objectives include reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving commercial vehicles, promoting uniformity in regulations and enforcement practices, and enhancing the safety and security of commercial vehicle operations.
Membership for the CVSA consists of federal, state, provincial, and local government agencies responsible for commercial motor vehicle safety and enforcement, as well as industry stakeholders such as motor carriers, trucking associations, and safety equipment suppliers. This diverse membership allows for collaboration and knowledge sharing to improve safety standards and practices.
How Do the Efforts of the CVSA Help Reduce Commercial truck Accidents?
The CVSA conducts various safety programs and initiatives to enhance commercial vehicle safety.
These include:
International roadcheck
An annual three-day event where commercial vehicles are inspected at roadside checkpoints across North America to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Operation Safe Driver
A program aimed at reducing unsafe driving behaviors of both commercial drivers and passenger vehicle drivers through enforcement, education, and awareness campaigns.
North American standard inspections
The CVSA establishes and promotes uniform inspection procedures and criteria for commercial vehicle inspections to ensure consistent enforcement of safety standards.
Out-of-service criteria
The CVSA develops and maintains criteria for placing commercial vehicles and drivers out of service if they fail to meet safety regulations or exhibit serious safety deficiencies.
Training and education
The organization also provides training programs and resources for commercial vehicle inspectors, enforcement officers, and industry professionals to enhance their knowledge and skills related to commercial vehicle safety.
Despite the CVSA’s many efforts to make highways and roads safer for truckers and other motorists, commercial truck accidents continue to occur. Unfortunately, the most common cause of semi-truck crashes is negligent truck drivers.
