The Registrar, through Carrier Services Branch, may grant permits for exemptions from the Provincial Traffic Safety Act and regulations and the Federal Motor Vehicle Transport Act and regulations. The safety permits available for online submission include: CAODC Member, Divided Record Authority, Municipal Firefighting Vehicle, Water Well Drilling Rig Exemption, and Oil Well Service Vehicle Cycle Exemption. Carrier Services is not involved with vehicle weight and dimensions or special event permits. Education information related to standard transportation compliance can be found on our website at: http://www.transportation.alberta.ca/499.htm.

   

The "Carrier Profile" includes a history of convictions, administrative penalties for impaired driving charges, CVSA inspections, and collisions provided to Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC) by law enforcement and other government agencies. Other information such as impaired driving contraventions, inspection station certifications, audits, and notices documenting violations may also be displayed. The Carrier Profile is used to identify carriers that pose an unacceptable risk to the public. Information contained in the Carrier Profile will be considered when establishing a carrier's safety fitness rating.

Carriers are encouraged to obtain and review their Carrier Profile regularly to help evaluate the effectiveness of their safety and maintenance programs.

The actual description and coding of events are worded using criteria set by the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) and therefore may not be the same wording that appears on law enforcement documentation.

The carrier's current compliance standing can be found in "Part 1 - Carrier Information". This will always reflect events that have occurred in the previous 12 months from the printed date regardless of the Profile Period Start and End Date.

All reasonable efforts have been taken to ensure the accuracy of the information in this report. If any information shown in this profile is in question, contact Alberta Transportation at 403-755-6111 or email safetysystemssupport@gov.ab.ca with all relevant, inaccurate information, such as document number, date, driver and vehicle information, and indicate the error(s).

An Education Manual has been developed to assist carriers with compliance to transportation safety legislation. The manual and other information regarding Alberta's safety fitness program can be viewed on the internet at: https://www.alberta.ca/education-manual-for-commercial-carriers.aspx

As of May 1, 2024, the risk factor scoring process is refined to improve the precision of carrier monitoring to identify the 5% high-risk carriers operating in Alberta.  Risk factor score refinements take effect for April 2024 month-end monitoring.  The risk factor scoring changes ensure that the department is able to identify and take intervention action with the highest risk carriers operating in Alberta.

 Risk factor score refinements include:

• Greater precision in calculations of average fleet over a 12 month period, which aligns with the 12 month period for safety event data;
• Changes in fleet groupings for more equitable distribution of carriers; and
• Failure rate is displayed as CVSA inspection points per vehicle, and calculated based on the inspection results (e.g. pass, requires attention, out of service) and the carrier¿s average fleet.

Carriers may find that their risk factor score has changed from March 2024 to April 2024 month-end as a result of the refinements.  Changes in the risk factor score may impact carrier monitoring, and move the carrier on or off of monitoring, and/or move the carrier to a different stage of monitoring.  For more information on carrier profiles, online profile services, and carrier monitoring, visit our website at: Carrier profiles and monitoring | Alberta.ca . 

NOTE:  The US carrier data sharing system was not working for a period of time.  As of January 2024, US data is fully received and loaded to Alberta's system for use on the carrier profile and inclusion in the risk factor score calculations. When a carrier requests a profile with January 2024 month-end data, then they may see new/added data safety events.  

NOTE:  To ensure that you get the most up to date data on Part 6 - Monitoring Summary, ensure you pull your profile after the 1st Sunday of the Month for the previous Months Monitoring data. 

NOTE: There are intermittent delays when generating profiles based on a timeframe of 5 years or more.  If you encounter an issue, please contact the Carrier and Vehicle Safety Branch at 403-755-6111. 

 

Effective December 1, 2020- Impaired driving contraventions are available as information on the profile.  Alberta's impaired driving laws are changing effective December 1, 2020. A new Roadside Sanction program will keep our roads safer by providing serious and immediate consequences for all impaired drivers. Read Freeing up police and courts to make Alberta safer for more information.

Starting March 9, 2020, some correspondences issued by Alberta Transportation, such as SFCs and certain letters, will be available for carriers to access online. Access is provided by the existing Carrier/Public Profile service through a new Carrier Document Portal service. Not all documents will be available online as some will continue to be delivered by email with attachments and by mail.
