EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The purpose of this review was to provide an overview of the three main groups representing the carrier industry in Canada and offer some insight into their position on mandatory speed limiters. This background information would provide context for a small case study which endeavored to assess the benefits, effectiveness and implementation issues associated with mandatory speed limiters on commercial class trucks in Canada.

Collected in cooperation with the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators
