Operations Safe Driver Week is scheduled for July 13 - 19, 2025 in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada

During Operation Safe Driver Week, law enforcement personnel will be on the lookout for commercial motor vehicle drivers and passenger vehicle drivers engaging in risky driving. Identified unsafe drivers will be pulled over and issued a citation or warning.

CVSA’s Operation Airbrake Program will hold two annual brake safety campaigns in 2025.

• Brake Safety Week is scheduled for August 24 - 30, 2025 in the U.S., Mexico, and Canada.

• There will be an unannounced one-day brake safety enforcement initiative, which may be held at any time.

• During both the announced and unannounced brake safety enforcement campaigns, commercial motor vehicle inspectors conduct brake system inspections (primarily Level IV Inspections) on large trucks and buses throughout North America to identify brake-system violations.

CVSA will add an “English Proficiency (U.S. Only)” heading to the “Part I – Driver” section of the North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria with the following language: Driver cannot read and speak the English language sufficiently to communicate with the safety official to respond to official inquiries and directions in accordance with FMCSA enforcement guidance. (391.11(b)(2)) Declare driver out of service.

This online guide provides simple explanations and templates to help companies that operate CMVs understand and comply with Federal safety regulations.

Fatal crashes on America’s roadways continue to be a critical concern, and a major contributing factor is not wearing a seat belt. FMCSA is committed to supporting and protecting commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers, which includes encouraging seat belt use among drivers and CMV occupants.

FMCSA’s campaign, Buckle Up, reminds drivers that wearing a seat belt helps protect them in a crash, complies with the law, and allows them to make it home safely.
