The objectives of the Motor Carrier Safety Operations Program are the prevention of collisions and injuries
attributed to vehicle mechanical defects, excessive driving hours, or misuse of controlled substances or
alcohol by drivers; and the prevention of incidents and catastrophes during, or as a result of, hazardous
material transportation.
The Motor Carrier Safety Unit also issues California Carrier Numbers (CA number) for those commercial
vehicle operators within the nine Bay Area counties. When applying for a CA number, allow for five working
days after the Unit receives the application to issue a number.
