Book Description
TESTIMONY: We are pleased to be here today to discuss the challenges facing the Department of Transportation (DOT) as it attempts to ensure the safe and efficient movement of people and goods and a cost-effective investment in the nation's transportation infrastructure. The administration has proposed a fiscal year 1999 budget of $43.3 billion to fund transportation programs. This is the first year that federal agencies are required to directly link their budgets to performance outcomes in order to better manage their resources. My testimony today, which is based on our recently completed and ongoing work, will discuss key resource management issues and performance challenges facing the Department in 1999 and beyond.

Book Description
Every year roughly 100,000 fatal and injury crashes occur in the United States involving large trucks and buses. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in the U.S. Department of Transportation works to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. FMCSA uses information that is collected on the frequency of approximately 900 different violations of safety regulations discovered during (mainly) roadside inspections to assess motor carriers' compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, as well as to evaluate their compliance in comparison with their peers. Through use of this information, FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (SMS) identifies carriers to receive its available interventions in order to reduce the risk of crashes across all carriers. Improving Motor Carrier Safety Measurement examines the effectiveness of the use of the percentile ranks produced by SMS for identifying high-risk carriers, and if not, what alternatives might be preferred. In addition, this report evaluates the accuracy and sufficiency of the data used by SMS, to assess whether other approaches to identifying unsafe carriers would identify high-risk carriers more effectively, and to reflect on how members of the public use the SMS and what effect making the SMS information public has had on reducing crashes.
