The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) and the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) are planning a major enforcement and education effort Oct. 21-28, 2007. The mission is to improve commercial and non-commercial driver behavior and performance through effective enforcement, education and awareness strategies. During this week, a variety of commercial and non-commercial driver-focused enforcement and outreach activities will occur. CVSA plans to focus on many of the innovative approaches states are already using such as Washington State’s TACT program and the Smooth Operator program in the Mid-Atlantic region. While DOT and CVSA will be supporting this effort at the national level, they encourage law enforcement to provide support at the state, municipal and county level. CVSA has produced a variety of materials and invites you to co-brand with your logo. CVSA will be handling the production and printing of the materials, so there is no cost. Three of the Operation Safe Driver promotional pieces are available on AAMVA's Web site:
- A tri-fold brochure for use in any venue
- A folder that has a pocket in front to insert a ticket/citation and the brochure. It is intended that these would be distributed in the field by officers who take enforcement action against 4-wheelers.
- A folder with a pocket in the front to insert an inspection form, ticket/citation and the brochure. It is intended that these would be distributed in the field by officers who take enforcement action against commercial motor vehicle drivers.
CVSA is also working on a poster to be posted at weigh stations, employer businesses, departments of motor vehicles and other state facilities. If you want to co-brand any of these materials please let CVSA know. To make arrangements, please contact Steve Keppler at CVSA (stevek@cvsa.org, 202-775-1623, ext. 106).
