When it comes time to renew your Commercial Vehicle Operator’s Registration (CVOR), St. Amand Auto & Truck Repair will be your licensed CVOR Inspection garage in St. Catharines.

The CVOR system tracks the on-road safety performance of the following vehicles:

• Trucks that have a gross weight or registered gross weight over 4,500 kg (9,920 lb) and
• Buses that have a seating capacity of ten or more passengers.

The goal of the CVOR system is to improve road safety for all users of Ontario highways by having an effective monitoring and intervention system for all carriers. Poor performance may result in the loss of privileges to operate commercial motor vehicles.

Vehicles that require a CVOR

A CVOR certificate is required for commercial vehicles that are:

• Plated in Ontario,
• Plated in the USA, or
• Plated in Mexico.

Vehicles that are plated in other Canadian provinces or territories (not Ontario) do not need a CVOR certificate. They require a safety fitness certificate from the province or territory in which the vehicle is plated.
