The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has announced July 13-19, 2025, as Operation Safe Driver Week, a comprehensive enforcement and education initiative aimed at improving driving behaviors across North America.
What to Expect During Safety Week
During this week, law enforcement personnel in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. will actively monitor both commercial motor vehicle drivers and passenger vehicle drivers for unsafe behaviors including:
- Speeding
- Distracted driving
- Following too closely
- Drunk or drugged driving
- Reckless, careless, or dangerous driving (this year’s primary focus)
Drivers engaging in these behaviors will be pulled over and issued warnings or citations. The initiative addresses a critical need—in 2022 alone, there were 42,514 traffic fatalities in the U.S., 1,931 in Canada, and 15,979 in Mexico.
Beyond enforcement, Operation Safe Driver Week emphasizes education through resources for drivers, public service announcements, and multilingual safety materials available to industry and enforcement members.
