Operation Air BrakeOut-of-Service Defects
• Showing results
• Effective in reducing OOS rates for brakes
• Support is growing
• Will continue into the future
We want to stop this……...
Operation Air Brake
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
