The CVOR safety rating system evaluates carriers based on their on-road safety record to communicate their safety performance.

An Unsatisfactory rating means the carrier's safety performance is unacceptable and they may face sanctions.
How does the MTO calculate a carrier's safety rating under the CVOR system?
Answer: Using a points-based system considering collisions, convictions, and inspections
The MTO uses a points-based system where safety events contribute points that determine the overall rating.
What happens when a carrier's CVOR safety rating is downgraded to Conditioned?
