The Department of Transportation and Public Facilities, Division of Measurement Standards and Commercial Vehicle Compliance (DOT&PF, MSCVC), focus is to preserve public infrastructure, enhance safety of the motoring public, and assure marketplace confidence and equitable trade for all of Alaska. MSCVC consists of two sections: Measurement Standards and Commercial Vehicle Compliance.

Measurement Standards (MS) team members work to ensure a level playing field for the residents and businesses operating in the State of Alaska. Weights & Measures Inspectors provide testing and inspection of all weighing and measuring devices used in commerce. Dedicated team members not only enforce statutes and regulations, but provide education to device owners. Measurement inaccuracy can cause financial hardship to residents and businesses alike.

The Commercial Vehicle Compliance (CVC) goal is to reduce the number of commercial motor vehicle related crashes and fatalities in Alaska. A transportation system that is safe, reliable, and efficient provides a foundation for economic prosperity. A major component is the Commercial Vehicle Customer Service Center analyzes routes and conducts load calculations to ensure safe routes that preserve State infrastructure when movements require oversize and overweight permits.
