Global Road Deaths at All-Time Low, but U.S. Still Ranks Poorly on Safety

Road Safety Annual Report 2013


A study from the International Transport Forum finds that although 2012 was a record low year for traffic fatalities.  However, there is still a long way to go in order to achieve the 2020 UN Decade of Action target, which is to reduce by 50% the expected number of fatalities worldwide.  And the U.S. still ranks poorly compared to other well-off countries

Countdown to More Stringent California Requirements


Fleets that send trucks into California have less than six months to prepare for the next round of more stringent engine emission requirements. By January 1, 2014, trucks with 2005 and 2006 engines will need to be retrofitted with diesel particulate filters (DPFs) or replaced by trucks with 2007 or newer engines to legally operate in the state. In addition, fleets with 3 or fewer trucks, including owner-operators, will need to have a DPF or a 2007 or newer engine in at least one of their trucks by this date. 

Some limited exemptions apply, including a one-time per year per fleet "3-day pass" and a "low-use vehicle exemption" for trucks that travels less than 1,000 miles in California per calendar year. 

More information about these upcoming requirements, including compliance training opportunities, can be found at the California Air Resources Board TruckStop website. Contact Mike Tunnell at mtunnell@trucking.org.
