Description:
The Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) is a database of crashes involving motor carriers with USDOT numbers. The database includes trucks, buses, passenger cars, and light trucks with hazardous materials placard. Data are available for only those crashes resulting in either a tow-away, injury, or fatality. Data are collected from all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico. The data are transmitted electronically from the States, but are maintained and operated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The crash data may contain multiple records for a crash, but due to privacy restrictions, driver data are not included in any crash files released to the public.
