In case you were unable to join us for Congressional staff briefings on truck safety technologies that we hosted on September 26 and November 21, we invite you to view the presentation that we went through during these informative sessions.
Staff Briefing on Truck Safety Technologies
The briefings, which focused on automatic emergency braking (AEB) and heavy vehicle speed limiters, were a collaboration between the Truck Safety Coalition, the Truckload Carriers Association, Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, the Trucking Alliance, and Road Safe America.
Please see below for contact information for each of the panelists that participated. We look forward to answering any questions you may have about AEB or speed limiters.

We hope that you will work with this growing coalition to advance currently introduced legislations that will direct the Department of Transportation to establish performance standards for these technologies, require original equipment manufacturers to include these technologies in new trucks, and require that motor carriers use these technologies in trucks that are equipped.
