FY 2016 Appropriation

Major responsibilities of the Commercial Vehicles program are weighing commercial vehicles and safety inspections of vehicles that do not necessarily pass through the State's Ports of Entry. Many of the checks are done with the element of surprise in as much as they have portable scale units that can be moved to any location in the state. Other responsibilities of the Commercial Vehicle program include monitoring and responding to hazardous materials incidents, ensuring compliance with Public Service Commission regulations, and detecting the abuse and trafficking of alcohol and drugs.
