The Commercial Vehicle Administration Subsystem will operate at one or more fixed locations within a region. This subsystem performs administrative functions supporting credentials, tax, and safety regulations, for both interprovince and international movement of commercial vehicles and their cargo. It issues credentials, collects fees and taxes, and supports enforcement of credential requirements. This subsystem communicates with the Fleet Management Subsystems associated with the motor carriers to process credentials applications and collect fuel taxes, weight/distance taxes, and other taxes and fees associated with commercial vehicle operations. The subsystem also receives applications for, and issues special Oversize/Overweight and HAZMAT permits in coordination with other cognizant authorities. The subsystem coordinates with other Commercial Vehicle Administration Subsystems (in other provinces/regions/countries) to support nationwide access to credentials and safety information for administration and enforcement functions. This subsystem supports communications with Commercial Vehicle Check Subsystems operating at the roadside to enable credential checking and safety information collection. The collected safety information is processed, stored, and made available to qualified stakeholders to identify carriers and drivers that operate unsafely.
Security Considerations
The Commercial Vehicle Administration Subsystem manages credentials, financial data, border clearance, safety data, and other sensitive information. In general, the Commercial Vehicle Administration Subsystem handles personal and business sensitive information, such as financial data information that needs to have a relatively high degree of confidentiality in order to safeguard the information. In addition, it is important that the information is available in order to ensure that cargo is transported as safely and efficiently as possible. The integrity of the information is also important to consider in order to prevent unauthorized clearance.
