Fleet operators often struggle to ensure that all drivers receive adequate training on safety regulations and practices, while individual drivers may face challenges in accessing training resources that accommodate their specific needs based on their geographic locations and operational context. Additionally, the diverse nature of Pennsylvania's transportation landscape means that safety training must account for the unique conditions found in both urban and rural settings.
