| Abstract | The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) participated in an international research program organized by the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) to evaluate cargo securement regulations and industry practice. As a result of this multi-year, international research program, the FHWA and other agencies responsible for establishing and enforcing cargo securement regulations have identified areas in which current cargo securement regulations could be improved to further reduce the likelihood of cargo securement-related accidents, and to make the requirements easier to understand, use, and enforce. The research provides the safety agencies and industry partners with a sound technical foundation to support the development of a uniform North American Cargo Securement Standard. This Tech Brief outlines the research, findings, and subsequent recommendations. 4 p. |
