The survey requires no personal or corporate information to participate, and all results will be presented generically. Just click here and answer a handful of survey questions.

“The calls and emails to OTA continue to increase from fleets that truck drivers who have concerns about deteriorating highway safety conditions across Northern Ontario. The survey seeks feedback from drivers on the challenges at hand; what is working, what is not, and what drivers’ thoughts are on the necessary solutions,” said OTA Chair James Steed. “Input from professional drivers and fleets who operate through Northern Ontario every day is essential for OTA’s Board to develop effective positions.”
The survey results will be presented to the OTA Board of Directors, the Ministry of Transportation, and the Enforcement Community to develop solutions that will improve highway and truck driver safety in the region.
