The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) is a non-profit group that is comprised of Canadian federal, provincial, and territorial governmental representatives, as well as a wide variety of transportation industry representatives. All parties belonging to the CCMTA have an interest in at least one aspect of motor vehicle control and highway safety.

Scope

Various committees and their working groups and task forces within the CCMTA carry out research, raise awareness of road safety issues, and work towards goals focused on reducing accidents and deaths on Canada’s highways.

Summary of requirements

The CCMTA was created in order to provide uniformity in road transportation laws, regulations, and policies.

CCMTA’s three standing committees are made up of governmental representatives from all Canadian jurisdictions. Transport Canada representatives are also involved to represent federal government. The three standing committees are as follows:

  • Standing Committee on Drivers and Vehicles (D&V). D&V is responsible for vehicle registration (automobiles and commercial vehicles), driver fitness and licensing, and automobile inspections and standards.
  • Standing Committee on Compliance and Regulatory Affairs (CRA). CRA is responsible for commercial motor vehicle safety and the transportation of dangerous goods.
  • Standing Committee on Road Safety Research and Policies (RSRP) RSRP is responsible for road safety research and preparing recommendations to increase road safety.
Each of the committee chairs report to CCMTA’s Board of Directors. The CCMTA reports to the Council of Ministers Responsible for Transportation and Highway Safety.

The CCMTA is also responsible for the National Safety Code for motor carriers. The National Safety Code is a group of 16 standards created to efficiently apply motor carrier, vehicle, and driver safety standards and procedures uniformly throughout Canada.
