The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has announced a proposal to make its crash preventability determination program permanent.
FMCSA started the program in August 2017, reviewing more than 5,600 crashes submitted by truck and bus companies to determine if a crash could have been prevented by a motor carrier. According to the agency, 94% of the crashes were found to be unpreventable by the motor carrier or commercial driver.
U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao in March announced plans to make the program permanent at the Mid-America Trucking Show in Louisville, Ky.
In addition to transitioning to a long-term crash preventability determination program, FMCSA is proposing the removal of nonpreventable crashes from the Safety Measurement System’s crash indicator BASIC, expanding the types of crashes that can be evaluated from eight to 15.
