This final report updates the results of a July 2004 report that was prepared in response to Section 222(d) of the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA). Section 222(d) of the Act required the Secretary of Transportation to conduct a study of the effectiveness of the revised civil penalties established in the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA-21) in ensuring prompt and sustained compliance with Federal motor carrier safety and commercial driver's license laws. The 2004 study focused primarily on the impact of the changes in the revised civil penalty schedule on the dollar amount of the fines assessed to the carrier and on the number of violations assessed. The primary objective of this followup report is to reevaluate the findings of the 2004 study, using a more comprehensive database that includes more years of data. The research was conducted by the Research and Innovative Technology Administration's (RITA's) John A. Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (The Volpe Center) under a project plan agreement with the FMCSA.

Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustments (US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulation) (FMCSA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustments (US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulation) (FMCSA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 The FMCSA specifies inflation adjustments to civil penalty amounts assessed to those who violate the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) and Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMRs). Some of these adjustments are required by the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act of 1990 (Adjustment Act), as amended by the Debt Collection Improvement Act of 1996 (DCIA). Most of the civil penalties were last adjusted for inflation in 2007, and some have not been changed since 2003. Other changes to the civil penalties were mandated by Congress in the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). This final rule ensures that FMCSA's civil penalties are consistent with the applicable statutes. This book contains: - The complete text of the Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustments (US Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulation) (FMCSA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section

Every year roughly 100,000 fatal and injury crashes occur in the United States involving large trucks and buses. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the U.S. Department of Transportation works to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. FMCSA uses information that is collected on the frequency of approximately 900 different violations of safety regulations discovered during (mainly) roadside inspections to assess motor carriers' compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, as well as to evaluate their compliance in comparison with their peers. Through use of this information, FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS) identifies carriers to receive its available interventions in order to reduce the risk of crashes across all carriers. Improving Motor Carrier Safety Measurement examines the effectiveness of the use of the percentile ranks produced by SMS for identifying high-risk carriers, and if not, what alternatives might be preferred. In addition, this report evaluates the accuracy and sufficiency of the data used by SMS, to assess whether other approaches to identifying unsafe carriers would identify high-risk carriers more effectively, and to reflect on how members of the public use the SMS and what effect making the SMS information public has had on reducing crashes.

The automotive industry appears close to substantial change engendered by “self-driving” technologies. This technology offers the possibility of significant benefits to social welfare—saving lives; reducing crashes, congestion, fuel consumption, and pollution; increasing mobility for the disabled; and ultimately improving land use. This report is intended as a guide for state and federal policymakers on the many issues that this technology raises.
