Summary of Issue

Performance-Based Brake Testing (PBBT) Instructor Waiver for any state/jurisdiction looking to begin a PBBT program

Justification or Need

Jurisdictions are increasingly looking to begin utilizing PBBTs. In order to properly run and staff a program to train and qualify inspectors on PBBT operation, the jurisdiction must first develop PBBT instructors who can train and certify other inspectors on the PBBT. This is accomplished through hosting a train-the-trainer course with the assistance of the PBBT vendor and with certified PBBT instructors certified by CVSA from other states. The waiver allows the jurisdiction to utilize this method and is therefore critical to development of a jursidiction’s program and use of PBBT.

Request for Action

To approve granting any jurisdiction looking to begin a PPBT program an automatic waiver from the Operational Policy 6 requirement that PBBT instructors be qualified on a PBBT for two years prior to being certified as a PBBT instructor to train and certify other inspectors as PBBT operators.
