About CVSA
A non-profit 501(c)(3) trade association
– 70 Members, 450 Associate Members
– Began at industry’s urging in 1982 with several western States and
Canadian provinces
Why was it initiated?
– Safety was a concern ------ deregulation
– Need for uniformity and reciprocity in regulation,
standards, and enforcement
How does it work?
– Support from public and private sectors critical
– All CMV disciplines at the table and involved in setting and
maintaining the standards
– Focused agenda, clear expectations and results
– Open the doors from the get-go
– Processes and procedures for input and output are explicit and
inclusive

MAP-22(?)
MAP-21 has a bunch of good stuff in it, but FMCSA
has a heavy lift
– B+ is our grade, implementation is key. Lack of movement
on enroute bus inspections and expansions of exemptions in
Bill are problematic for enforcement
MAP-22 CVSA Task Force
– CVSA Policy positions developed
– Enforcement and industry
– Outreach ongoing

Size & Weight
CVSA Heavy Vehicle Data Collection Study
– 35 states from 2012-2015
– Look at nexus between overweight vehicles (permitted and
illegal) and safety performance
Uniformity in permitting
– Working with AASHTO, WASHTO, SASHTO and FHWA to
harmonize
MAP-21 Study
– Collaboration with a number of groups and FHWA project team
– Sent letter to DOT Sec’y with several key CVSA priorities

Heavy Vehicle Data Collection Effort
Purpose: To gather data to help determine what, if any,
impact heavier weights have on a vehicle’s structural
components, motor carrier safety violations, and safety.
Duration: January 15th, 2012 – January 15th, 2015
Vehicle Selection: a heavy vehicle should be included:
1.) When it is weighed and found to be over the allowable:
(a) axle weight; and/or
(b) axle group weight; and/or
(c) gross vehicle weight for the roadway on which it is operating.
OR
2.) When operating under a special permit for weight.

CVSA supports industry-wide mandate
Have been working through the regulatory, policy and
legislative processes to make it happen
SNPRM published last week
– CVSA is evaluating, will be discussed at Driver-Traffic Enforcement
Committee’s upcoming meeting April 9-10 in Los Angeles.
MCSAC Subcommittee, CVSA had input
Coordinating with Canada on their standards
development
Webinars, education and outreach
– Engaged with vendors
– Existing AOBRDs and what is on the way
– New video training developed for enforcement

Data Quality/Improvement
Contrary to some, the data is good
– In 2012, 1.1 Million of 3.5 Million inspections were clean
– Less than 1% of inspections were challenged
States are being measured
Information Systems and Data Quality AdHoc Committees
–
–
–
–
Provide updates and recommendations to FMCSA for IT changes
Software rewrite
Adjudications of citations
Training for inspectors and data analysts
Constant interaction with FMCSA IT on issues

Enforcement Works!
The Roadside Inspections conducted in 2007:
– Helped to avoid 10,210 total crashes, 6,581 injuries and saved 387
lives.
The Traffic Enforcement conducted in 2007:
– Helped to avoid 9,761 total crashes, 6,292 injuries and saved 370
lives.
The Compliance Reviews conducted in 2007:
– Helped to avoid 2,860 total crashes, helped to avoid 1,866 injuries and
saved 109 lives.
Based only on the benefits of the lives saved in 2007 (866) from
these three programs, the benefit accrued in 2007 was $5.2 Billion
– MCSAP funding…….less than $250 Million
Each roadside inspection is worth $2,414.26 in safety benefits
– Benefit to cost ratio is 18:1!
