    The American Trucking Associations (ATA) produced three educational videos in conjunction with its 18-point safety agenda. These videos offer a concise, visual way to learn about each of the 18 safety policies and the positive effects of their implementation.

    These videos can be found on ATA’s Safe Trucks webpage and on the ATA Channel of Big Truck TV.

    The videos feature ATA President and Chief Executive Officer Bill Graves; Safety Task Force Chair Barbara Windsor; and subject matter experts Dave Osiecki, ATA vice-president of safety; and Jim Tipka, vice-president of engineering; discussing each of the initiatives ATA is taking to make the nation’s roadways safer for all drivers.

    An overview video offers a synopsis of the trucking industry’s commitment to safety and the three areas on which ATA chose to focus when developing the 18 new safety policies. The two other videos, “ATA Safety Recommendations to Improve Driver Performance” and “ATA Recommendations to Make Vehicles and Motor Carriers Safer,” delve deeper into each of the policies and the safety benefits of their enactment.
