Roadcheck 96 is a continuation of a joint international
commercial motor vehicle safety check that began in 1987.
This annual effort involves the cooperation of officials
in conducting simultaneous vehicle and driver inspection
activities at various locations throughout the United
States, Canada and Mexico.
The activities are organized by the Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and the Commercial Vehicle Safety
Alliance (CVSA), an organization composed of
representatives of most states and provinces that
established common practices and procedures for
commercial vehicle safety enforcement. Newfoundland is an
active member.
Newfoundland's involvement in Roadcheck 96 is indicative
of our continuous effort towards maintaining safer
highways for commercial motor vehicle drivers and
motorists.
Newfoundland's participation consists of a three-day
effort at three inspection sites across the island:
Foxtrap, Grand Falls-Windsor and Port aux Basques.
This year's team will consist of 12 highway enforcement
officers, one federal transportation of dangerous goods
inspector and several representatives of the RCMP.
The results will be compiled on an international basis
and will be released at a later date.
We welcome industry to visit an inspection site during
Roadcheck 96 and observe CVSA inspection first hand.
