Captain Juan Villanueva, commanding officer of Troop D, Springfield, announces the results of several MCSAP (Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program) commercial vehicle enforcement truck checks during the week of July 16, 2018. The purpose of these efforts was to reduce the number of commercial motor vehicle-related crashes, fatalities, and injuries through aggressive enforcement, education, and safety inspections.

Three separate enforcement projects were conducted last week in Greene, Jasper, Lawrence, and Newton counties. During these operations, commercial vehicle enforcement troopers and commercial vehicle officers inspected 360 commercial vehicles, discovered 767 violations, and issued 72 summonses, while placing 61 vehicles, and 17 drivers out-of-service.
