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.
