Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP)


To maintain and enhance the safety of commercial vehicles travelling on Alberta highways, the province has developed a mandatory safety inspection program. This is called the Alberta Commercial Vehicle Inspection Program (CVIP).

CVIP is not a replacement for the ongoing preventive maintenance carried out by vehicle owners, but rather sets the standards for owners' maintenance programs.

A commercial vehicle passing inspection under CVIP will receive a Commercial Vehicle Inspection Certificate, as well as a decal to be placed on the vehicle.
