LCV PILOT * Canada - Early stats from, are in
Ontario,CAN -Truck News -26 Jan 2009: -- Ontario's LCV pilot project is on winter hiatus and the summer portion of the program concluded without so much as a whimper of opposition from the motoring public... The final numbers for the summer stint of the pilot are now in: There were 4,114 LCV trips totaling 1.28 million kilometres in Ontario over the summer. More importantly, there were NO reported collisions and NO charges or violations, according to data supplied by the OTA and verified with MTO... Besides a few harmonization wrinkles to be ironed out with neighbouring provinces, the LCV pilot is shaping up to be a success... The future of the program, however, remains cloudy with a new Transport Minister taking the reins Jan. 19... I prodded the MTO for a hint of what was in store for the program when it concludes in July... Given the investment fleets have made in new trailers, dollies, driver training, etc., it would be a shame if the project were to be killed. Let's see if new Transport Minister, Kathleen Wynne, is also a 'doer.'Labels: LCV longer combination vehicles
