Hawaii Participates in International Roadcheck

By Susan Chang, Motor Carrier Safety Manager, Motor Vehicle Safety Office, Hawaii Department of Transportation

The Hawaii Department of Transportation’s Motor Vehicle Safety Office (MVSO) has been working closely with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Division Office to conduct inspections and investigations to keep Hawaii’s roadways safe for all to travel.

Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, Hawaii’s officers continued their commitment to transportation safety. New safety measures, such as face masks, shields, gloves, equipment sanitation and social distancing, were implemented to protect all drivers and inspectors during the inspection process. During this year’s International Roadcheck in May, all COVID-19 safety protocols were followed. n
