Operation Air Brake
What is it?
 An International Selective Traffic Enforcement
Program designed to…...
 Promote and reinforce the need for drivers to check and
adjust air-brake systems
 Educate drivers on the seriousness of operating a heavy
vehicle with inadequate brakes.
• Sponsors: CVSA, FMCSA and CCMTA
• Participants
– Enforcement Agencies across Canada and the United States
(Puerto Rico), Traffic Safety Agencies, Industry
Stakeholders/Associations
Operation Air Brake
Campaign Focus
• Three components
– Awareness Activities
– Enforcement
Roadcheck
strict enforcement
of brake rules
farm progress
essential
truck rodeos
brake check days
carrier awareness
– Promotional Items

Operation Air Brake
• Showing results
• Effective in reducing
OOS rates for brakes
• Support is growing
• Will continue into the
future
We want to stop this……...
Professional Development
• A work in progress since 1997
• Adhoc Committee established 09/00
Mission
To examine the Alliance’s future role and
approach to continuing education, training,
and awareness and offer recommendations to the
leadership on direction
• Examining several provisions in MCSIA-99
– Motor Carrier Safety Auditors
– New Entrant Program
Professional Development
• Committee is to report back to leadership in
May 2001
• This is an important role for CVSA -- to
provide the membership and the safety
community with the tools to increase CMV
safety awareness, compliance, and reduce
crashes
CDL State Self Assessment
Law-Enforcement-Led, Safety-Driven Effort to….
• Reduce truck and bus involved crashes…...by
taking a results and performance based
approach to looking at the effectiveness of State
driver evaluation processes
• Conduct a bottoms up approach…...taking on a
unique state-level public safety dimension
• Enable a proactive method of operation against
drivers in reducing truck and bus crashes
The Need
• Make the CDL Program more safety and
crash-data driven
• Strengthen the cause and effect linkage
– driver behavior (citations - convictions - withdrawals dispositions) and crashes
• Identify and Fix “Leaks” and broken “Triggers”
• Reevaluate processes and systems for effective
commercial driver monitoring
• Identify and remove unsafe drivers from the road
CDL State Self Assessment
Objectives
Develop a series of safety-driven, controlled
measurements of the state’s processes for
assessing and monitoring commercial driver
performance
Develop a “Tool Kit” for the assessment and
monitoring of BOTH state and driver
performance
