Safety Fitness Certificates

Manitoba Transportation and Infrastructure issues safety fitness certificates to Manitoba-based motor carriers (operators) in compliance with s. 312.2 of the Manitoba Highway Traffic Act and s. 8(1) of the Canada Motor Vehicle Transport Act. Manitoba requires all motor carriers and operators of regulated vehicles to hold a valid safety fitness certificate, unless explicitly exempted by regulation.

The following vehicles are defined as regulated vehicles in Manitoba:

  • a truck or truck tractor with a registered gross vehicle weight of 4500 kilograms or more
  • a passenger vehicle designed with a seating capacity of 11 or more persons, including the driver
  • a school bus designed with a seating capacity of 11 or more persons, including the driver

A safety fitness certificate is valid for one year and must be renewed annually before a motor carrier renews their vehicle registrations.
