WHAT IS CVSA BRAKE SAFETY WEEK?  

CVSA Brake Safety Week is a part of Operation Airbrake’s campaign towards improving commercial vehicle brake safety throughout North America. The purpose is to promote brake-safety awareness and outreach opportunities, perform brake-related inspections, and conduct violation data collection.  

 

WHY IS THERE A CVSA BRAKE SAFETY WEEK?  

• Brake-related violations comprise the largest percentage of all out-of-service vehicle violations cited during roadside inspections. 
• Six out of the top 20 vehicle violations were brake related. 
• Last year’s CVSA International Roadcheck found that 25.2% of all vehicle out-of-service violations were brake-system related.  

 

WHAT TO EXPECT  

CVSA-certified inspectors will conduct routine commercial motor vehicle inspections focusing on brake systems and components.
