• Abstract:
  The Maryland Motor Carrier Program (MMCP) involves the regulation of
  
  commercial vehicle safety inspections. This includes roadside inspections
  
  programs which have a goal of improving safety and reducing crashes
  
  involving commercial vehicles. The MMCP is based on federally provided
  
  safety standards and is administered by state agencies including the Maryland
  
  State Highway Administration, Maryland State Police, and the Maryland
  
  Transportation Authority (MDTA).
  
  As Maryland’s economy and population continues to grow, commercial vehicle
  
  traffic is also expected to increase on already congested highways. This
  
  additional traffic also leads to increased safety concerns for transportation and
  
  enforcement officials. Safety inspection programs are one very important
  
  component in helping to improve safety and to prevent certain crashes
  
  involving commercial vehicles. Therefore, evaluating the effectiveness of
  
  these programs and determining the best way to allocate resources is critical.
