ALASKA CVISN LEVEL ONE : TOP LEVEL DESIGN

Within the context of the National ITS Architecture, the Commercial Vehicle Information Systems Networks Program or CVISN is a dynamic program with flexible components and operating topologies, capable of adopting and implementing new and different commercial vehicle solutions. It is the thoughtful, careful design of National ITS Architecture that makes this dynamic flexibility possible. Alaska along with 42 other states, has made a commitment to CVISN. This is a commitment to implement CVISN technologies and methods to make its highways safer, reduce delays for safe commercial vehicle carriers and use state enforcement resources as effectively, and efficiently, as possible. This undertaking is substantial, and will take a number of years to complete. This effort has the potential to revolutionize commercial vehicle enforcement in Alaska. Commercial Vehicle Operations (CVO) administration is the responsibility of the Division of Measurement Standards and Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, a division of the Department of Transportation and Public Facilities or MSCVE. Two other agencies coordinate and cooperate with MSCVE in commercial vehicle enforcement in Alaska; the Department of Public Safety, and the Department of Administration Division of Motor Vehicles and Division of Information Technology. These agencies comprise the nucleus of the Alaska working group that is dedicated to achieving CVISN Level 1 status. Alaska is well positioned to achieve CVISN Level 1 status within the timeframe established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration or FMCSA
