The goal of the Safety Data Improvement Program grant funding is to provide financial and technical assistance to States to facilitate the collection of accurate, complete, and timely data on all large commercial truck and bus crashes that involve a fatality, injury, or a vehicle towed from the crash
scene.
The FMCSA uses data collected by States to update inventories and monitor compliance of motor carrier companies, measure the condition of vehicle fleets, track the driving records of licensed operators, and record crashes involving CMVs on public roadways.
High-quality, timely data in each of these areas is crucial to the mission of improving the safety of CMVs.
