This report supplements the Interim Report, dated September, 2002. The Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999 (MCSIA), P.L. 106-159, mandated a study to determine the causes of, and contributing factors to, crashes involving commercial motor vehicles. MCSIA also directed the Secretary to transmit to Congress the results of the study. The U.S. Department of Transportations (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) conducted a multiyear, nationwide study of factors that contribute to truck crashes. The Large Truck Crash Causation Study (LTCCS) identifies areas that need to be addressed by effective crash countermeasures. The LTCCS contains a large amount of descriptive data. Additional analysis must be conducted in order to identify specific crash risk factors. The LTCCS database will be electronically available to the public in the near future. This will allow many other government agencies, universities, private groups, and individuals to analyze the data in order to increase the total knowledge about truck crash factors. FMCSA believes analysis from many sources is the best path for realizing the full potential of the LTCCS.
