Webinar Description

Weather and Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety
-7/8/2009 - 12:00 PM EST

FMCSA's Analysis Division conducted a study to analyze how existing weather conditions affect commercial motor vehicle (CMV) safety and operations, and to investigate potential impacts of climate change on weather conditions. In this webinar, Environmental Protection Specialist Michael Johnsen will present an overview of the specific types of adverse weather conditions examined and how climate change may alter the distribution, frequency, duration and intensity of such weather events. It will further examine how an increase in severe storms could impact CMV practices and require responses in FMCSA regulatory enforcement.
