Passenger Traction Vehicle Bill Passes House


The Colorado House passed HB 1207 last week and the bill is now on to the Senate. This bill is strongly supported by CMCA as it  basically puts passenger vehicles on a level playing field with the commercial trucking industry, which has had strict chains laws in effect for years.

The bill clarifies the type of acceptable tires when the traction control law is put into effect as well as the level of tread that is required so as to better maintain control in such conditions. The law calls for a 3/8” minimum tread depth which is a standard used by several other states who have a chain and passenger traction law.  It is also a recommended minimum by tire experts for reasonable traction in such conditions. In lieu of that standard a driver is permitted to use an AutoSock, tire chain, or other approved traction device.

The measure is particularly focused on I-70 between Morrison and Dotsero where traffic volumes traveling to the ski and resort areas is particularly heavy.   Read More...

Cultivating Safety Leadership at Your Organization

Leadership may seem like an intangible quality — something we cannot define but know when we see it. However, safety leadership can be defined, learned and acted upon.
In an article last year we suggested, “Safety leadership begets safety culture, which is an attitude your employees show toward safety, i.e. ‘We want to do the right thing around here.’”  Safety leadership, we wrote, is as broad as setting a vision, goals and budget and as specific as saying “incidents are preventable” rather than “accidents happen.”  Read More...
