New Haz-Mat presentation available on line

A new audio-visual presentation that explains Idaho’s commercial driver’s license (CDL) hazardous materials endorsement requirements is available on line through the Idaho Transportation Department Web site.

The 15-minute presentation addresses the PATRIOT Act of 2001 and details Idaho’s driver’s license, written testing and security threat assessment processes. It also provides information on CDL transfers and Idaho renewals.

The presentation may be viewed, with accompanying audio, at dmv.idaho.gov. Select “Driver Services” to reach the following link:

“This is an innovative way to explain complex information,” says Ed Pemble of ITD’s Driver Services. “Posting it on the Web also makes it easy for drivers anywhere to access the information.”

Transportation staff worked closely with Oregon DMV staff, which shared information and material that proved helpful in developing the presentation.

Questions, comments and/or input about the content of the presentation can be directed to Micki Courtney, CDL Program Specialist, Micki.courtney@itd.idaho.gov . Software and Web development questions may be directed to Richard Holloran, Information Technology Systems Analyst, at Richard.holloran@itd.idaho.gov .
