Commercial Operator Regulatory Education (CORE)
Introduction
It is the responsibility of motor carrier operators and drivers to know and comply with all applicable regulations. Safety compliance and safe operations translate into saved lives and property. We believe the information in this package, when effectively applied, will contribute to safer motor carrier operations and highways.
The Commercial Operator Regulatory Education (CORE) Program is a co-operative effort involving the following strategic partners:
- Motor Carrier Division – Manitoba Infrastructure
- Manitoba Public Insurance
- Manitoba Trucking Association

Goal and Program Description
The goal of CORE is to reduce fatalities, injuries, property damage and hazardous materials incidents on our highways by assisting carriers in understanding and conforming to the requirements necessary to operate legally and safely in the commercial environment both intra and extra provincially.
The strategic partners have worked co-operatively to produce a complete resource package that outlines all relevant legislation, regulations, and safe operating procedures for the following target groups:
- new entrants into the highway transportation industry
- existing motor carriers who are unclear about their responsibilities
- existing carriers who wish to ensure they have a clear understanding and interpretation of all relevant acts and regulations, including:
- the Highway Traffic Act (Manitoba) and related regulations
- the Motor Vehicle Transport Act (Canada) and related regulations
- the National Safety Code (NSC)
The CORE package is not a substitute for these documents. To purchase a copy of the relevant legislation, contact Statutory Publications. The regulations may also be viewed at the Government of Manitoba and Government of Canada websites.
Objectives
- to enhance motor carrier knowledge of and encourage compliance with legislation, regulations and safe operating procedures
- to supplement the enforcement arm of Manitoba Infrastructure by using the Motor Carrier Safety as a resource to industry
- to create trust and understanding between industry and government
- to encourage an increase in the safe operating practices and procedures of new motor carrier operations
- to provide a source of direction and information for new entrants to the industry
