Florida LTAP is hosting a free 3-part web series to explore Safe System principles, the Safe System Roadway Design Hierarchy, contributing risk factors, Transportation Management Plan components, enforcement strategies, educational outreach, smart work zone technologies, and the Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) Safety in Work Zones Checklist.

CMVs contribute disproportionately to serious work zone crashes, and understanding their operational needs is critical for designing and managing safer work zones. This training provides a comprehensive overview of CMV-related crash trends, operational challenges, engineering strategies, and coordinated approaches that strengthen safety and mobility.

This training equips practitioners with practical, immediately applicable tools to improve CMV safety throughout the entire project lifecycle—from planning through project closeout.

Learning Objectives

• Explain CMV crash trends & overrepresentation in severe work zone incidents
• Identify operational characteristics that make CMVs vulnerable in work zones
• Apply Safe System principles to work zone planning, design, & operations
• Recognize key contributing factors affecting CMV safety
• Select engineering, traffic control, & operations strategies for safer CMV navigation
• Understand the role of enforcement, education, & collaborative partnerships
• Use the CMV Safety in Work Zones Checklist for decision-making & documentation
• Recommend practical countermeasures and future-ready solutions

This training is ideal for transportation agency staff, engineers, planners, project managers, construction and maintenance supervisors, inspectors, safety professionals, law enforcement partners, and others responsible for work zone planning, design, operations, or oversight involving commercial motor vehicles.
