Abstract:The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is responsible for ensuring that all truck and bus companies, drivers and other entities regulated by the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) comply with all Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). These entities can be subject to FMCSA enforcement action taken in conjunction with compliance reviews, complaint investigations, terminal audits, roadside inspections, or other actions. These enforcement cases may result in the issuance of civil penalties (fines). This analysis brief provides an overview of the civil penalty process and an analysis of FMCSA’s civil penalty data from January 2010 through December 2014, in terms of claimed, settled, and suspended dollar amounts; violations associated with these penalties; and the time required for the Agency to process such cases. Figure 1 provides an overview of the civil penalty process followed by FMCSA.
