ATRI On The Air
Posted on Apr 23, 2008

 

 

ATRI is the American Transportation Research Institute.  They are a non-political, non-profit organization who gather facts and statistics about a wide variety of issues in trucking.  They are very open about sharing their findings and welcome input from you. 

ATRI researchers appear on our show every other Thursday at 8:06 central time.

 

Here are some of the upcoming topics: 

 

May 1 – Speed Impacts on Safety: ATRI is nearing the release of its comprehensive study on the impact of speed on safety. Hear new data and findings on the use of speed limiters, speed differentials and posted speed limits. Dan Murray will co-host.

May 15 – Training Impacts on Safety: ATRI’s soon-to-be-released study is one of the first studies to compare and contrast driver safety outcomes of different driver training approaches and curriculum. Given the current FMCSA rulemaking on new entrant driver training, these research findings are certain to generate discussion. Dan Murray and Rebecca Brewster will co-host.

May 29 – Fuel, Fuel, Fuel: It’s on everyone’s mind today and there are no easy solutions. ATRI’s Director of Environmental Research Mike Tunnell will discuss research efforts to increase fuel efficiency, decrease fuel consumption and impact what is surely a top issue for the industry today.

June 12 – In the Eye of the Storm: Dan Murray will co-host an update on ATRI’s Disease and Disaster research, that is documenting best practices for incorporating the trucking industry into the disaster planning and response processes.

June 26 – Women in Trucking: Rebecca Brewster will co-host this regularly scheduled program focused on the issues faced by women in trucking.
