SURVEY LANDING PAGE

As authorized in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) is establishing a Crash Causal Factors Program. Through this program, FMCSA will execute a multi-phased study of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) crash causal factors, with Phase 1 focused on fatal crashes involving Class 7/8 large trucks: the Large Truck Crash Causal Factors Study (LTCCFS).

FMCSA is currently planning the LTCCFS—a widescale, detailed crash data collection and analysis effort intended to identify the key factors that contribute to fatal large truck crashes and inform countermeasures to prevent these crashes from happening.

Where possible, the LTCCFS will leverage existing State and local jurisdiction resources, equipment, and infrastructure to collect study data.

The purpose of this survey is to understand your agency’s ability to participate in the LTCCFS.

If you have any questions about the study, or about the information being requested in the survey, please contact Dan Meyer, FMCSA Transportation Specialist, at [email protected] or (202) 366-2616.

If you have technical difficulties with the online survey tool, please e-mail [email protected] or call [INSERT Volpe POC] at (617) 494-XXXX.
