Every summer, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) hosts Operation Safe Driver Week, a high-impact enforcement and education initiative focused on reducing unsafe driving behaviors among both commercial and passenger vehicle drivers.
This year’s campaign, backed by FMCSA, local law enforcement, and industry partners across North America, aims to save lives by targeting one of the most dangerous variables on the road: human behavior behind the wheel.
In fact, 94% of all traffic crashes are caused by driver actions—speeding, distraction, fatigue, and aggressive driving among them. That’s why Operation Safe Driver focuses directly on the drivers of large trucks, buses, and passenger vehicles alike.
What Happens During Operation Safe Driver Week?
During this one-week campaign, commercial motor vehicles (CMVs) and passenger vehicles are subject to:
🚔 Traffic enforcement stops
📝 Driver behavior assessments
📢 Education and outreach activities
📉 Compliance improvement efforts
In 2024 alone, over 11,000 vehicles were pulled over across Canada and the U.S., resulting in thousands of tickets and warnings for unsafe behaviors ranging from speeding and distraction to improper lane changes and failure to wear seat belts.
It’s not about punishment—it’s about prevention.
What It Means for Your Company
For fleets, Operation Safe Driver Week isn’t just about avoiding tickets. It’s a wake-up call to look inward:
Are your drivers consistently following safe driving practices?
Do you have a clear way to track driver behavior and training?
Are your teams educated on the risks of distraction, fatigue, or aggressive driving?
Can you prove that you're reinforcing regulatory compliance every day—not just when enforcement rolls around?
That’s where Synergic Software makes a difference.
