Every year, the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) holds Operation Safe Driver Week, a week-long initiative aimed at improving the driving behaviors of both passenger and commercial vehicle drivers. In 2021, road fatalities increased 24% over the previous 12 months, despite a 13% decrease in miles driven. The Operation Safe Driver Program, founded in 2007 in partnership with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, aims to address this issue by having law enforcement personnel on the roadways throughout the week issuing warnings and citations to drivers engaged in dangerous behaviors such as speeding, distracted driving, and improper lane changes. This year's focus is on speeding, which was the top violation during Operation Safe Driver Week in 2021. Flagship, a facilities management provider, conducts regular training for its drivers and uses GPS units to monitor distracted driving, seatbelt use, and speed.
