The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has released the 2025 schedule for its major commercial vehicle enforcement initiatives.

The big picture: These blitzes aim to enhance road safety and reduce accidents caused by commercial vehicles.

Key dates:

• International Roadcheck: May 13-15, 2025. The largest targeted enforcement program globally, with inspections happening every minute across North America.
• Operation Safe Driver Week: July 13-19, 2025. Focuses on risky driving behaviors by both commercial and passenger vehicles, leading to citations or warnings.
• Brake Safety Week: August 24-30, 2025, with an unannounced one-day brake safety check at any time. Inspectors will emphasize brake linings and pads.

By the numbers: Brake-related issues account for the highest percentage of out-of-service violations during these inspections, highlighting the importance of such initiatives.

What to expect: During these periods, law enforcement will increase inspections, particularly focusing on brake systems. Trucks or buses found with major violations will be placed out-of-service until issues are resolved.
