Approximately 600 government officials, enforcement and industry members attended the conference in support of the Alliance's mission to improve commercial motor vehicle safety and uniformity throughout North America.
The Indiana State Police (ISP) Commercial Vehicle Enforcement Division (CVED) received two awards related to commercial vehicle safety from the United States Department of Transportation's (USDOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
For the ninth consecutive year, the ISP CVED received the FMCSA's Safety Enforcement Award for federal fiscal year 2015. This award is presented annually to one state in recognition of the highest achieving safety enforcement program in the United States.
