Description

To reduce the number of crashes involving commercial motor carriers, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Admin. (FMCSA) orders unsafe carriers out of service. To help keep these carriers off the road, FMCSA's voluntary Performance and Registration Info. Systems Management (PRISM) grant program helps states establish info. systems connections between state vehicle registration and FMCSA's safety databases. These connections provide states with up-to-date info. on carriers' safety status when carriers try to register or renew registrations with the state. This report examined: (1) PRISM's effectiveness; and (2) the potential to fully implement the program nationally. Charts and tables.
