The purpose of the Fleet Safety
Contest is to recognize companies that reduce accidents by designing and running a top-notch safety program.
Judging An Independent panelof judges,
chosen from government agencies reviews the self audit results that are provided by the participating companies. The panel looks at how the company organizes its safety
programs, as well as training, driver supervision, preventive maintenance, and the overall record of accident reduction. A field audit is then performed by CTA safety
staff to insure the accuracy of all winning entries.
In Most categories, there will be three companines receiving awards - but not in all cases. This is because,
in the opinion of the judges, less than three carriers entered met the qualifications of the high standards required to receive the reward. The companies that win CTA's
awards pass a battery of tests and reviews that show clear evidence of a commitment of safety on California's highways.
Award Presentation
The program culminates with the Fleet Safety Annual Awards Banquet at
which time the winners and their places are announced.
