The American Transportation Research Institute has begun a survey of motor carriers and truck drivers to assess the state of adoption of truck safety technologies.

A new report from the American Transportation Research Institute suggests that a small tax on electricity used specifically for transportation would produce much-needed support for the federal Highway Trust Fund, revenue from which pays for work on the nation’s roads and bridges.

CLEVELAND — Truckers’ acceptance of advanced driver assistance systems is a key element for fleets interested in adopting these technologies, but the industrywide driver shortage presents a challenging consideration, according to American Transportation Research Institute Senior Vice President Dan Murray.

The American Transportation Research Institute announced Aug. 18 that it has launched a data collection initiative to better understand drivers’ job motivations.

A new initiative from the American Transportation Research Institute is exploring development of an assessment tool to identify the safest drivers among 18- to 20-year-olds, a key group that the trucking industry is targeting for expanded eligibility of commercial driver licenses for interstate travel.

Understanding the most effective way to bring 18- to 20-year-olds into the trucking industry was listed as a top 2021 research priority for the American Transportation Research Institute.

The American Transportation Research Institute is marking 20 years of providing the industry with research into the issues it confronts every day.

Last month, the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) released "A Practical Analysis of a National VMT Tax System" which breaks down the benefits and the costs of instituting a national vehicles-miles-traveled fee system that would levy a per-mile charge on drivers

The administrative costs of a national vehicle-miles-traveled fee system represent a more complicated picture than the costs associated with financing mechanisms such as the federal fuel tax, according to a recent analysis from the American Transportation Research Institute.

Trucks moved more swiftly last year through sections of road that historically are choked with congestion, as the coronavirus pandemic kept vehicles off the road and freed up highways for easier movement of freight, the American Transportation Research Institute said.
