Troop D Announces Results Of Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) Enforcement Operations
Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer of Troop D, Springfield, announces the results of MCSAP (Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program) commercial vehicle enforcement operations during the week of October 16, 2017. The purpose of these efforts was to reduce the number of commercial motor vehicle-related crashes, fatalities, and injuries through aggressive enforcement, education, and safety inspections.
Three separate, one-day enforcement projects were conducted last week in Greene, Jasper, Lawrence, and Webster counties. During these operations, commercial vehicle enforcement troopers and commercial vehicle officers inspected 429 commercial vehicles, discovered 972 violations, and issued 128 summonses, while placing 89 vehicles and 24 drivers out-of-service.
The only 100 percent survivable traffic crash is the one that never happens. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is properly restrained in a seat belt or child restraint. Every day as we travel on Missouri’s roadways, we trust that every driver on the road is going to obey the speed limit, pay attention, and drive sober.
“Don’t Violate The Trust.”
