Regulation - Minister
Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Alternative Impoundment Program
Regulation Number(s):
415/10
Instrument Type:
Regulation - Minister
Bill or Act:
Highway Traffic Act
Summary of Decision:
The Ministry of Transportation has developed a commercial motor vehicle alternative program that contains the following elements:
1. CMVs driven by a driver whose eligible HTA suspension has been in effect for less than 100 days would fall within the alternate program and would be exempt from impoundment. (This is a reasonable amount of time for responsible carriers who conduct quarterly licence checks).
2. CMVs driven by a driver whose suspension has been in effect for 100 days or more will be subject to the new 7-day VIP.
Existing sanctions will still apply to all drivers operating a vehicle while under DL suspension, regardless of whether the vehicle is eligible for impound.
