Safety Action Plan

This guide is required by Oregon law ORS 825.248 and provides information about truck crash totals, crash causes, crash rates, safety inspection totals and a summary of key problems and objectives of state-specific problems and national program activities.

Oregon Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP)
The Oregon Transportation Safety Action Plan (TSAP) provides long-term goals, policies and strategies and near-term actions to eliminate deaths and life-changing injuries on Oregon’s transportation system. Help the Oregon TSAP Team update the plan by taking the online survey available now through November 20.

Passenger Safety

In 1998, ODOT implemented the Trusted Carrier Partner Program as a way to recognize those truck companies who demonstrate better than average safety records and good business practices.

In 2012, ODOT included passenger carrying motor carriers in the Trusted Carrier Partner Program. The Commerce and Compliance Division (CCD) has prioritized inspections of buses to help ensure safe vehicles and drivers, alleviate passenger frustrations and address concerns about delayed bus schedules.

Program Recognition

CCD awards recognition certificates to thank participating bus operators and destinations for providing safe locations to conduct bus inspections. Program recognition includes:
  • The iconic red vanity plate with the words "Trusted Carrier Partner.”
  • No random safety inspections or random compliance reviews.
