Truck Regulatory Review
Departments are trying to reduce the burden placed on Nova Scotians’ by making forms easier to access, reducing the length of forms, re-evaluating renewal periods, and by looking at ways to make it easier to comply with the rules. The Department of Transportation and Infrastructure Renewal and Service Nova Scotia and Municipal Relations have hired the Orca Transportation Safety Group to assist in conducting a review of the Nova Scotia trucking regulations, policies and procedures to identify additional efficiencies that can be achieved in current practices and reduce the regulatory burden. We want to hear about your concerns and ideas about how to reduce the regulatory burden facing the Nova Scotia trucking industry. To assist in these tasks and to focus discussion on the most important issues Orca has prepared a consultation paper. This document outlines the main regulatory provisions in Nova Scotia legislation and poses some key questions about the regulatory burden. There is also survey document to gather your views and ideas. A series of public meetings will be held around the province as follows: Monday, June 16, 2008 – Coldbrook, Wandlyn Inn, 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm If you cannot attend these meetings, you can submit your responses to the survey directly on-line by clicking here.
