The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is the primary enforcement and regulatory Agency responsible for safe operation of large trucks and buses, the companies that own them, and the drivers who operate them. From the time of its creation in 1999, the Agency has implemented enforcement programs, rules, and systems to reduce crashes involving large trucks and buses. In recent years, the results of that work have contributed to a dramatic reduction in severe and fatal commercial motor vehicle (CMV) related crashes, with a combined 1,497 fewer lives lost between 2007, 2008 and 2009, when fatalities in crashes with large trucks and buses numbered 5,116; 4,545; and 3,619, respectively. The Agencys Fiscal Year (FY) 2012 budget requests of $606 million and 1,169 FTE launches the next generation of safety programs and flexibilities needed to continue the downward trend in severe and fatal CMV-related crashes.
