The Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services (CAAS) formed a Ground Vehicle Standard Revision Committee to develop V4.0 of the GVS document. Based on industry feedback, this Committee has developed a list of proposed changes to V3.0.
To ensure that anyone with an interest in the medical transportation industry has a voice in the Standard revision process, CAAS posted the proposed changes for Public Comment Period #1 which started January 20, 2025 and concluded 60 days later. Based on the feedback received during Public Comment Period #1, CAAS has now opened Public Comment Period #2, which starts April 1, 2025 and concludes May 31, 2025. In accordance with ANSI protocol, only items that have been changed through the Public Comment #1 period are open for additional comment and review during this second period. Those items are highlighted in yellow on the attached proposal document. Comments on other provisions are not accepted during this process. Interested parties who care to comment on the changes should complete the online feedback form and submit their input during this public comment period.
The GVS Committee will review all submissions received during the Public Comment Period #2 and will consider each of the comments received. The CAAS GVS V4.0 document has a scheduled effective date of July 1, 2025.
