Government Affairs Update
 
CTA will be closed Monday, May 31 for Memorial Day
Check out the latest story on the driver shortage by NewsRadio KFBK with CTA's Sr. VP of Government Affairs, Eric Sauer. Learn the steps CTA is taking to mitigate the effects that this shortage will have on Californians.
This year’s Brake Safety Week is scheduled for Aug. 22-28. During Brake Safety Week, commercial motor vehicle inspectors emphasize the importance of brake systems by conducting inspections and removing commercial motor vehicles found to have brake-related out-of-service violations from our roadways. At the same time, many motor carriers work to educate their drivers and maintenance service providers on the importance of brake system safety.
 
Throughout the week, inspectors will conduct North American Standard Inspections of commercial motor vehicles, focusing on the vehicle’s brake systems and components. In addition, inspectors will compile data on brake hoses/tubing, the focus area for this year’s Brake Safety Week, to submit to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA). CVSA will report its findings later this year.

PrePass®
