Reportable Collision Threshold & Pointable Collisions

Reportable Collision Threshold & Pointable Collisions

The Ontario Waste Management Association supports changes by the Ontario Ministry of Transportation in the following areas:

• Amend Ontario Regulation 596 (section 11) to increase the reportable accident threshold to $2000 to be in line with the direction of most Canadian jurisdictions with the intention of moving towards tow-away criteria, which the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) recommends.

• Change the definition of pointable collisions under the Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration (CVOR) Guideline to be in line with a tow away standard.

These changes would alleviate much of the adverse and unfair impacts that recent changes to the Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration (CVOR) program have had on low-kilometric fleets.
