About 5,000 people die and more than 120,000 are injured each year from crashes involving large trucks. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has several enforcement programs to improve truck safety and funds similar enforcement programs in states through its Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP). Following concern by Congress and others in 1999 that FMCSAs enforcement approach was ineffective, the agency committed to take stronger actions. This study reports on how FMCSAs enforcement approach has changed, how it makes decisions about its enforcement approach, and how it ensures that its grants to states contribute to the agencys mission of saving lives.
