What is the Travel Risk Planning System (TRiPS) best described as?

• A. A general mission planning worksheet
• B. The Travel Risk Planning System (TRiPS) is an online tool to assess hazards on a planned PMV trip; the report is shared with a supervisor
• C. A weather risk app
• D. PPE catalog

Answer: (B)

TRiPS is an online tool used to identify and assess hazards for a planned Private Motor Vehicle trip and generate a risk report that you share with your supervisor. It walks you through spotting travel hazards like weather, road conditions, driver fatigue, route risks, and vehicle readiness, then helps you evaluate how likely each hazard is and how bad the consequence could be. With that assessment you implement controls to reduce risk—things like adjusting the route, planning rest breaks, performing a pre-trip vehicle check, or changing travel times—and you document these decisions within the system. The resulting report provides a clear record for your supervisor to review and approve before you depart, ensuring everyone understands the risks and the measures in place. This isn’t just a general mission planning worksheet, a weather app, or a PPE catalog; it’s a focused framework for travel risk management with formal sign-off and accountability.
