New Component Summary CVIEW Wisconsin CVIEW Built using APL or vendor CVIEW Single interface point with SAFER Summary information database Interstate Intrastate

New Component Summary MCES Client ROC functionality Retrieves snapshot data from CVIEW Provides roadside access to state systems ASPEN equivalent Automated inspection reporting

New Component Summary PrePass and integrated WIM Voluntary program Electronic clearance Mainline Weigh-In-Motion Separate screening computer PreVIEW connection to CVIEW Future connection to MCES

System Change Summary Migration of MCES Client from 3270 terminals to LAN-based workstations LSIs and LMs for all legacy applications Network Connections

CVISN Level 1 Compliance Safety Information Exchange ASPEN (or equivalent) at all major inspection sites. We have implemented our MCES (ASPEN equivalent) at all sites Connection to the Safety and Fitness Electronic Record (SAFER) system to provide exchange of interstate carrier and vehicle snapshots among states. We will connect to SAFER via our CVIEW

CVISN Level 1 Compliance Safety Information Exchange Implementation of the Commercial Vehicle Information Exchange Window (CVIEW) (or equivalent) system for exchange of intrastate and interstate snapshots within state and connection to SAFER for exchange of interstate snapshots. We will implement a Wisconsin CVIEW for snapshot exchange within the state and connect it to SAFER

CVISN Level 1 Compliance Credentials Administration Automated processing (i.e., carrier application, state application processing, credential issuance, and tax filing) of at least IRP and IFTA credentials; ready to extend to other credentials [intrastate, titling, oversize/overweight (OS/OW), carrier registration, and hazardous material (HAZMAT)]. Note: processing does not necessarily include e-payment. We will be deploying Polk’s COVERSnet application to provide automated processing of IRP and IFTA credentials. OS/OW deployment is progressing, with limited self- issuance of permits now in production.

CVISN Level 1 Compliance Credentials Administration Connection to IRP and IFTA Clearinghouses. We are connected to the IFTA Clearinghouse and we intend to join the IRP Clearinghouse At least 10 percent of the transaction volume handled electronically; ready to bring on more carriers as carriers sign up; ready to extend to branch offices where applicable. We expect to meet this volume. We are working with Polk to add EDI capabilities.

CVISN Level 1 Compliance Electronic Screening Implemented at a minimum of one fixed or mobile inspection site. Ready to replicate at other sites. We have a preliminary agreement with PrePass to implement their screening and clearance system at our Hudson and Menomonie SWEFs
