FMCSA announces virtual 2020 Trucking Safety Summit

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) announced that its public meeting, “The FMCSA 2020 Trucking Safety Summit,” will be held virtually through GoToWebinar on Aug. 5 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT to discuss how to improve safe operation of property-carrying commercial motor vehicles on the road.

The virtual sessions will provide motor carriers, drivers, safety technology developers and users, safety advocacy groups and more — as well as members of the public – an opportunity to share their ideas on improving trucking safety.

The 2020 Trucking Safety Summit was originally scheduled for March 19 and was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
