SASKATCHEWAN AND MANITOBA MOVE FORWARD ON NEW VEHICLE REGISTRATION AGREEMENT

Released on July 31, 2007

Commercial vehicle owners in several communities on both sides of the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border will benefit from a new vehicle registration agreement, which is effective August 1.

The new reciprocal agreement will allow commercial trucks, buses and taxis to operate within 16 kilometres of the Saskatchewan-Manitoba border without having to pay for two vehicle registrations or a single trip permit.

"We are very pleased to partner with our eastern neighbours on this initiative as it provides customers on both sides of the border with a faster, more efficient way to do business," Minister responsible for Saskatchewan Government Insurance (SGI) Harry Van Mulligen said.

"This plan makes sense for border communities and business vehicle owners who will have less paperwork and reduced fees," Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation Minister Ron Lemieux said. "We are streamlining this service for commercial vehicles in Manitoba communities such as Flin Flon, Roblin and Russell so they can operate in a designated zone without paying two vehicle registration fees."

More information is available from SGI motor licence issuers or by calling SGI's Customer Service Centre at 1-800-667-9868.
