 Nottawasaga OPP, the Ministry of Transportation (MTO) Barrie Enforcement Office, conducted a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) enforcement blitz on September 30, 2026, in the area of County Road 90.

​

The initiative focused on improving road safety through commercial vehicle inspections and regulatory compliance enforcement.

​

During the enforcement initiative:

 

• 40 commercial motor vehicle inspections were completed;

• 37 Provincial Offence Notices (PONs) were issued; and

• 10 commercial motor vehicles were placed out of service due to safety-related defects or violations.

 

Commercial motor vehicle enforcement plays a vital role in ensuring vehicles operating on Ontario's highways meet required safety standards. Regular inspections help identify mechanical defects, regulatory violations, and unsafe operating practices before they contribute to collisions.
