Defines "covered motor carrier data" as data generated with respect to a motor carrier under the Compliance, Safety, Accountability initiative of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration.

Requires the Secretary to submit to Congress a report that contains recommendations on how to improve such initiative, including by ensuring that it:

  • utilizes and generates only safety data and scores determined to be predictive of motor carrier accidents,
  • appropriately addresses concerns relating to the age of utilized safety data,
  • does not unfairly harm small motor carriers as a result of limited safety data availability,
  • appropriately addresses differences between motor carriers transporting passengers and those transporting freight,
  • generates safety data that allows individual motor carriers and their safety scores to be effectively compared, and
  • utilizes accurate safety data.

Establishes deadlines for such report, for implementation of such recommendations, and for certification of such implementation.
