About CCMTA

For all Canadians road safety is an issue that unites us. We have a shared commitment and responsibility to keep our roads safe and reduce serious injuries and fatalities – because when you go out on the road, you want to feel secure knowing that you and your family will arrive at your destination, safe and sound.

The Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) is a national association whose members have responsibility to for the administration, regulation, and control of motor vehicle transportation and highway safety.

Our vision is to have the safest and most efficient movement of people and goods by road in the world. We are the custodians of the National Safety Code and provide collaborative leadership in addressing Canadian road safety priorities and members’ digital services through the Interprovincial Records Exchange (IRE) Network.

Established over 80 years ago, one of our functions is to exchange knowledge and data, using technology, to support members’ needs.

The IRE Network was originally created and developed to facilitate electronic exchange of standardized driver and vehicle information among the Departments of Motor Vehicles in each Canadian jurisdiction. The network has been operational since 1988 and is the communications portal backbone system by which jurisdictions share driver and vehicle information nationally. In the mid-1990’s, the IRE system was expanded to encompass safety-related issues; primarily to support vehicle safety and emissions recall campaigns and other road safety initiatives.

CCMTA has made substantial investments in the technology platform to modernize and upgrade this important business and safety tool. The modernization strategy also includes a business modernization.

CCMTA has identified an opportunity for a new role for a Cloud Network and Security Analyst, to support the operational requirements of the Technology Services department at CCMTA.
