This document describes the activities that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) will undertake to address this national problem and make immediate progress toward its primary goal. The plan directs attention to those areas of greatest concern--poor drivers, unsafe carriers, and substandard vehicles--and focuses special attention on truck and bus safety at our national borders. Among the challenges faced by FMCSA in meeting its goal are a continued increase in truck travel, a need for better safety data and added improvements to the commercial drivers license program, leveraging existing resources to address the rapid expansion of the motor carrier population, and a need for further testing and demonstration of crash avoidance technologies.
