## Introduction - September 2004 CVFM

**An earlier version of this package was presented to participants of the ITSA Commercial Vehicle and Freight Mobility (CVFM) Summer Meeting on September 1, 2004**
**In breakout groups, stakeholders refined visions and concepts for four capability areas**
**Driver Information Sharing **
**Expanded Safety Information Sharing **
**Smart Roadside **
**Expanded E-Credentialing**

- Refine Vision and Concepts

## Introduction - September 2004 CVFM

**Reconvened, reviewed revisions, and voted on priorities:**
**Consider the needs and funding sources available to your constituency.  Suppose you have $1M in funding from federal, state, or industry sources combined to spend on Expanded CVISN.  On what concept(s) will you spend those dollars?**
**Consider what others need to do to help you achieve your goals.  FMCSA and national organizations like ITSA have finite time and resources to work on aspects of Expanded CVISN such as research, architecture and standards, training, and technical support.  In which concepts should FMCSA and its national partners invest their resources?****  **
**This presentation includes the modified vision and concept statements.**
**Overall voting results will be summarized at the end. **

- Refine Vision and Concepts

## Vision and Concepts for Expanded CVISN Capability Areas

**Driver Information Sharing (D)**
**Expanded Safety Information Sharing (S)**
**Smart Roadside (R)**
**Expanded E-Credentialing (C)**

- Driver Information Sharing

## Driver Information SharingVision

**There is no CDL fraud.  Each licensed driver is qualified to drive the commercial vehicles specified on his/her license, and no driver holds multiple licenses.**
**Drivers’ privacy rights are protected, without compromising safety.**
**Authorized users (e.g., law enforcement, licensing agencies, potential and current employers) can easily access information about an individual driver.  All authorized data users access the same source for the information.**
**Future consideration: Authorized law enforcement personnel know who is driving a vehicle in advance of its arrival at an inspection site, port of entry, or other checkpoint and can more easily assess compliance with regulations.**
**Driver identification is consistent, reliable and secure.**

- Driver Information Sharing Vision

**Notes:**
CDL = Commercial Driver’s License
