FMCSA to Hold Strategy Forums This Month

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration will hold two separate stakeholder forums in August to gather input on a new 2010-2015 Strategic Plan, the agency said in a Federal Register notice.

FMCSA is seeking “input from industry leaders” in order to “identify and discuss key safety related challenges and opportunities facing the trucking industry, and to solicit ideas on research objectives that FMCSA should consider.”

Forum attendees will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed mission, vision and strategic goals for FMCSA’s plans, the agency said.

The first forum will be held next Thursday, Aug. 13, in Denver, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

A second forum will be held the following Tuesday, Aug. 18, in McLean, Va., outside Washington. American Trucking Associations will participate in that forum.

Space is limited to the first 30 registered particpants. To register, send an email to Karen Robin at FMCSA, karen.robin@dot.gov
