RSF 79, ITD and PRISM-Related Training - MCSAP 18

Over the past three years, Kentucky has made significant changes to the way screening data is accessed as well as how inspections are documented and reported by KSP-CVE. The CVIEW is now the primary means for verifying credentials, registration, and safety information by KSP-CVE. A new inspection software, VIA, is now utilized to document and report all inspections of commercial vehicles. KATS technology is now available at 16 locations across the state. The KSP-CVE officers in particular have numerous responsibilities so it is critical that annual training on these technologies and systems is provided. Even with recent training in every region of the state, it is clear that many are not comfortable with some of the systems and technologies or the information being provided. Kentucky, like most states, does not have sufficient resources to stop every vehicle and verify the credentials and registration or perform an inspection. This project can improve the safety of commercial vehicle operations and improve compliance with credential and registration regulations by helping KSP-CVE to identify carriers or vehicles with a specific problem. The objectives of this project include: 1. To provide hands-on training to all KSP-CVE inspectors and officers by September 2019. 2. To increase appropriate usage of electronic screening checkbox (in VIA) and show an increase in driver and vehicle OOS over state rates when screening systems are utilized. 3. To show an increase in the credentials and safety violations identified on inspections for inspections identified using screening systems.
