This grant, a cooperative agreement between the US Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA), is for developing a comprehensive North American Fatigue Management Program (FMP). Directly supporting FMCSA’s mission, this program will be applicable to all motor carriers throughout North America, regardless of size. The FMP aims to enhance safety by providing critical information on operator fatigue awareness and training. It will also include the implementation of interventional countermeasures, an empirical assessment of the program’s efficacy, and robust strategies for its industry-wide adoption. This initiative seeks to significantly reduce fatigue-related incidents across the continent.
