Table 5-5a. Commercial Motor Carrier Compliance Review Activity by Safety Rating: 2011

The safety fitness of motor carriers is a top priority of the U.S. Department of Transportation. As part of its efforts to improve safety, federal and state governments conducted 10,967 safety compliance reviews that resulted in a formal safety rating in 2011. Of that total, only about three percent of motor carriers received an unsatisfactory rating.

Table in Excel format | Historical data

Safety Rating	Federal	State	Total
Satisfactory	3,466	1,862	5,328
Conditional	2,365	1,175	3,540
Unsatisfactory	207	114	321
Not rated	158	1,620	1,778
Total	6,196	4,771	10,967

Notes:

These data include any review that resulted in a safety rating, including Motor Carrier Safety Compliance Reviews or CSA2010 reviews. As a result, the total number of reviews in this table differs from the total in Table 5-5b because that table includes reviews that did not result in a formal safety rating. A compliance review is an on-site examination of a motor carrier's records and operations to determine whether the carrier meets the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's safety fitness standard.
