CCMTA is the official organization in Canada for coordinating all matters dealing with the administration, regulation and control of motor vehicle transportation and highway safety.
CCMTA's Mission is to champion improved road safety and harmonized driver and motor vehicle related licensing and regulation through a national forum for the development and exchange of public policy and best practices. CCMTA's national forum is comprised of representatives of all provincial, territorial and federal governments of Canada, who meet twice a year, to make decisions on administration and operational road safety matters through a collective consultative process. It also comprises associates whose expertise and opinions are sought in the development of strategies and programs. CCMTA's Board of Directors and Standing Committees meet in the fall and at its Annual Meeting in the spring.
