Event Proceedings
4th Western Regional Commercial Vehicle Safety Summit

Dec 4-5, 2024 – The Summit focused on projects that utilize technologies designed to promote safe driving behaviors (either in a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) and/or in a non-CMV in/around CMVs) and on projects that demonstrate crash analysis tools capable of identifying high-risk corridors and traffic areas for the purposes of enforcement planning and deploying other CMV-related crash countermeasures. We shared research, resources, and best practices, and highlight partnerships in these areas. In addition, there was discussion of hot topics and emerging trends.
