Project #: 4W0735
Start Date: 08/22/2005
End Date: 09/30/2006
Status: Completed
ABSTRACT:

The state of Montana is implementing a five-year pilot program that provides safety training for new interstate motor carriers. The “New Entrant Safety Assurance Program” will use a third-party contractor to educate the commercial drivers about applicable safety laws and regulations prior to the mandatory state-run Safety Audit. Over the course of the five-year program, WTI will conduct an evaluation to assess the effectiveness of the training program in areas such as compliance with safety laws and regulations, long-term accident rates, and pass rates for the official Safety Audit.

OBJECTIVE:

To provide an independent evaluation of the effectiveness of Montana’s “New Entrant Safety Assurance Program” and suggest ways to improve the program.
