Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance

Ever Wonder What CVSA is all About?

Who Are They?

The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is a not-for-profit organization, established to promote an environment free of commercial vehicle accidents and incidents. Their mission is to promote  commercial motor vehicle safety and security by providing leadership to enforcement, industry and policy makers. This is accomplished by  establishing effective transportation safety standards for motor carriers, drivers, vehicles, and inspectors through compliance, education, training, and enforcement programs.
 
What is CVSA?

CVSA is an association of state, provincial, and federal officials  responsible for the administration and enforcement of motor carrier safety laws in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Its membership  includes all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and all of the 13 Canadian provinces and territories, the country of Mexico, the U. S. Territories of Guam, Samoa, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Possession of the Northern Marianas. CVSA member jurisdictions are represented by various Departments of  Transportation, Public Utility and Service Commissions, State Police,  Highway Patrols and Ministries of Transport.

In addition, CVSA has several hundred associate members who are  committed to helping the Alliance achieve its goals. These associate members include truck and bus companies, industry associations,  insurance companies, manufacturers, safety product and service providers, research organizations, commercial vehicle drivers,  academia, and individuals dedicated to highway safety.

A level one inspection if successfully passed confers a special  sticker and generally means that the truck will not be level one inspected for at least 90 days and may negate the need for any  inspections during that time period.

Does it work that way?
