Tell FMCSA the Major Issues Canadian Carriers Face in Complying with US Federal Safety Regulations

(April 28, 2008) – A research study is underway designed to identify issues affecting the harmonization and reciprocity of U.S. and Canadian motor carrier safety regulations. The work is being conducted by the highly respected American Transportation Research Institute for the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). While CTA has been working cooperatively with the researchers for several months now, carriers are now being invited to voice concerns/comments.

CTA is asking Canadian carriers to participate by completing the brief (web based) survey to identify the major issues faced by Canadian carriers in complying with US federal safety regulations.

Carriers are also being asked to provide comments on a key component of FMCSA’s approach to providing information to cross-border carriers in both Canada and the US -- the design of a website intended to serve as a one-stop resource on commercial vehicle regulation.
