Regional Regulatory Reform Roundtables – Colorado

 The SBA Office of Advocacy is an independent office that serves as a voice for small business within the federal government, the watchdog for the Regulatory Flexibility Act (RFA) and the source of small business statistics. Advocacy advances the views and concerns of small business before Congress, the White House, federal agencies, federal courts, and state policy makers.

President Donald J. Trump has made regulatory reform a centerpiece of his agenda and has signed two executive orders addressing the regulatory burden faced by the private sector. Advocacy has a unique and important role to aid agency implementation of the executive orders. To assist in accomplishing the goals of the executive orders, the office has developed a Regulatory Reform Action Plan.  Read More...

Law Enforcement to Collect Rear Impact Guard Data on CMVs the Week of Aug. 27-31

Greenbelt, Maryland (July 31, 2018) – During the week of Aug. 27-31, each state’s commercial motor vehicle law enforcement department may select one day of that week to capture data on rear impact guards, also referred to as underride guards, on trailers and semi-trailers in the United States.

As the leading organization devoted to improving commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety and inspection and enforcement uniformity throughout North America, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) is often asked to weigh in on policies related to safety and enforcement, and to provide guidance to enforcement, industry and policy makers. As a data-driven organization, any decisions to support or oppose an issue must be supported by data analysis and strategic planning. Consequently, the Alliance is collecting information on rear impact guards to be well informed and properly equipped to assess and address rear impact safety requirements on CMVs. The event will also highlight this critical issue for motor carriers and drivers.  Read More...
