Our Mission Placing safety as our highest priority: Prevent crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving CMV transportation through education, innovation, regulation, enforcement, financial assistance, partnerships, and full accountability. 3 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Grant Programs MCSAP Basic and Incentive –$168,275,000 MCSAP High Priority –$15,000,000 CDL Program Improvement –$30,000,000 Border Enforcement –$32,000,000 CVISN –$25,000,000 Safety Data Improvement –$3,000,000 PRISM - $5,000,000 *All are projected levels for Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

The Problem NHTSA 2012 FARS data showed: 33,561 people lost their lives on America’s roadways in motor vehicle crashes  3,914 from crashes involving a large truck  280 from crashes involving a bus 697 or 17% of fatalities in large truck crashes were large truck occupants 8.9% increase in fatalities over Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Safety Data Insight Police Accident Reports on truck drivers in crashes with a truck occupant fatality showed: 34% were not wearing a seatbelt 20% were speeding In 2012, there were 547 fatal crashes in work zones: Large trucks were involved in 129 or 24% In 2012 there were 454 pedestrians/bicyclist killed by large trucks & buses Large trucks were involved in 363 & buses involved in 76 6 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

19 The GROW AMERICA Act, or Generating Renewal, Opportunity, and Work with Accelerated Mobility, Efficiency, and Rebuilding of Infrastructure and Communities throughout America, will: support millions of American jobs repairing and modernizing our roads, bridges, railways, and transit systems; help ensure that American businesses can compete effectively in the global economy and grow; and pave the way forward by increasing access to the ladders of opportunity that help Americans get ahead.

20 FMCSA (Title V) – Key Focus Areas  Motorcoach Safety  Driver Compensation  Grant Program Restructuring Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

21 Motorcoach Safety En Route Bus Inspections Would expand locations under grant statute to require States to permit inspection of motorcoaches wherever food, shelter and sanitation for passengers can be provided Jurisdiction Over Passenger Brokers Bus brokers would be required to register with FMCSA Would help prevent unsafe bus companies from reorganizing as unregulated brokers and ensure transportation through authorized carriers only Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

22 Driver Compensation Current driver pay structure (by mile or trip), and unpaid time at shipper and receiver facilities, create dangerous pressures to exceed hours-of-service limits Would authorize a rule to require certain truck and bus drivers be paid minimum hourly wage for on-duty not driving time Only HOS log drivers would be affected No amendment to Fair Labor Standards Act; pay would be in addition to pay required under FLSA Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

23 Grant Program Restructuring Would consolidate five grant programs into a single formula program Eliminate wasteful duplication of State and Federal administrative processes Grant programs affected: –Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) -- Basic and Incentive –Performance and Registration Information System Management (PRISM) –Safety Data Improvement –New Entrant Grants –Border Enforcement Grant Would allow use of MCSAP funds to enforce household goods regulations State participation in PRISM, Safety Data Improvement and New Entrant would become mandatory Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

Our Vision Save lives by striving toward a crash-free and fully accountable CMV transportation life-cycle. 24 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
