Providing Quality Truck Driver Safety Education

MI DOT, Jan 27, 2005

As administrator of the Truck Safety Fund, it is a pleasure to present this summary of
activities conducted by the Michigan Truck Safety Commission during state fiscal year 2003.

The Michigan Truck Safety Commission has established an outstanding tradition of
providing quality truck driver safety education programs; innovative research; highprofile
public information campaigns; and, enhanced enforcement of the motor carrier safety laws.

All of these achievements are focused on the goal of encouraging passenger car and heavy truck drivers to share the road more safely.

Our state can be proud of these efforts to promote and encourage safe travel by all who share our roads. We continue to improve programs, build on research, and reach out to new partners.

We salute the Commission members, the employees of the Michigan Center for Truck Safety, the Michigan State Police Motor Carrier Division, and the trucking industry, who have made this program one of the most effective and unique in the nation.

And, we lookforward to many more years of providing safer travel for passenger vehicle and truck
drivers throughout Michigan.
