PHH Arval Sets Partnership with Center for Transportation Safety

PHH Arval announced a strategic partnership Monday with the Center for Transportation Safety, a leading provider of risk management and training solutions for drivers, to enhance fleet safety.

The CTS program covers vehicles of all sizes, including cars and light trucks, delivery vehicles, straight trucks, tractor-trailers, specialty tractor-trailers and forklifts, PHH Arval said in a statement.

The training provided by CTS — including simulator, classroom, behind-the-wheel and mobile training — will become part of PHH Collision Prevention, PHH Arval’s risk and safety program designed to create a crash-free culture and reduce accident rates by as much as 40%.

CTS’ training, including its simulators, can be accomplished at the client’s site, a field location or one of CTS’ sites.

PHH Collision Prevention proactively identifies drivers who are most at risk of being involved in a vehicle crash. The program offers targeted online training for these drivers to prevent accidents from happening, the company said.
