FMCSA in the News
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration (FMCSA) started January 1, 2000 within the Department of Transportation,
with a directive to develop a long-term strategy to improve motor carrier safety. Progress
in safety improvement must be assessed semi-annually and reported to Congress annually.
Many functions and responsibilities involving motor carriers have been transferred to this
new administration. |
