Heavy vehicle safety is continuing to be delivered at the local level following the recent announcement of $3.9 million for 14 projects.
NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto said the 2018-19 round of Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative projects would play a crucial role in improving heavy vehicle safety and productivity.
