Table 5-5a. Commercial Motor Carrier Compliance Review Activity by Safety Rating: 2012

The safety fitness of motor carriers is a top priority of the U.S. Department of Transportation. As part of its efforts to improve safety, federal and state governments conducted 9,221 safety compliance reviews that resulted in a formal safety rating in 2012. Of that total, only about 4 percent of motor carriers received an unsatisfactory rating.

Table in Excel format | Historical data

Safety Rating	Federal	State	Total
Satisfactory	2,224	1,362	3,586
Conditional	2,446	1,058	3,504
Unsatisfactory	217	129	346
Not rated	207	1,578	1,785
Total	5,094	4,127	9,221

Notes:

These data include any review that resulted in a safety rating, including Motor Carrier Safety Compliance Reviews or CSA2010 reviews. As a result, the total number of reviews in this table differs from the total in Table 5-5b because that table includes reviews that did not result in a formal safety rating. A compliance review is an on-site examination of a motor carrier's records and operations to determine whether the carrier meets the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's safety fitness standard.
