To reduce the fatality rate, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets national safety goals and works in partnership with states to reach them. Crash data collected by states and submitted to FMCSA is key to these efforts, and to be fully useful, this data must be complete, timely, accurate, and collected in a consistent manner. GAO addressed (1) what is known about the quality of commercial motor vehicle crash data, and what states are doing to improve it, and (2) the results of FMCSA's efforts to help states make improvements. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-102/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-102.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-102/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-102.pdf GAO-06-102 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-06-102 Other Written Product GAO-06-102; Highway Safety: Further Opportunities Exist to Improve Data on Crashes Involving Commercial Motor Vehicles; Data collection Data integrity Federal/state relations Highway safety Motor carriers Motor vehicles Safety regulation Safety standards Traffic accidents Transportation safety FMCSA Safety Data Improvement Program
