Question 4

Which factor does MTO use to compare carriers of different sizes when calculating CVOR thresholds?

Accepted Answer

Number of kilometres travelled (vehicle kilometres)

Answer

MTO normalizes collision and conviction rates by vehicle kilometres travelled so that large and small carriers can be compared fairly.
