In 2011, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) produced estimates of the cost of conducting onsite investigations, based on field data collected from safety investigators, as part of the Operation Model Test for FMCSA’s Compliance, Safety, Accountability 2010 (CSA2010) initiative. In 2016, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) recommended that the Agency update its original estimate for the cost of conducting onsite investigations, and produce additional cost estimates specific to newer intervention types. In response to this request, the Agency designed and implemented a study to measure these costs in the spring of 2018. For this effort, FMCSA division offices were instructed to report cost information on all federally conducted onsite comprehensive and onsite focused investigations performed between May 1 and July 31, 2018, as well as all offsite investigations performed during the same period by division offices whose staff had completed the Agency’s offsite investigation training. This report documents the study methodology, data analysis, and findings. Results are presented at both the national and regional levels.
