The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is a non-profit organization of federal, state, and provincial
government agencies and representatives from private industry in the United States Canada and Mexico dedicated to improving commercial vehicle safety. The Alliance serves as the major focal
point for bringing together state/provincial officials with truck/bus industry interest and federal governments
in a unique discussion and problem solving interchange.
Our goals include:
Reduce fatalities, injuries, and incidents by improving safety compliance of commercial vehicle operations
through form and reciprocal standards, practices, and enforcement throughout North America.
Establish and maintain effective CV safety operational standards and practices, inspection procedures, out-of-service
criteria, and enforcement practices and penalties that provide the basis for uniformity, compatibility and
reciprocity among CVSA's member Jurisdictions and industry partners.
Seek and establish partnerships with others with interests in CV safety that lead to
greater influence, higher visibility, and more effectiveness in pursuing CVSA's mission.
Seek and establish understanding with the general public of North America by educating and informing
them of CVSA's vision and mission.
Maintain an efficient organizational structure that provides the leadership and guidance needed to focus
on strategic priorities.
Improve processes and mechanisms for addressing CVSA goals and priorities effectively.
Prioritize actions and align resource bases (funding, facilities, staff and others) sufficient to support the
