3 M I S S I O N & G O A L S T A T E M E N T The Department of Public Safety is the lead agency for the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) in Georgia. The Department of Public Safety s Motor Carrier Compliance Division, along with 13 participating partner agencies, is responsible for the implementation of, and compliance with, the MCSAP guidelines in the state of Georgia. It is the mission of this agency to reduce the number of fatal and injury related crashes on Georgia s highways by the effective and fair regulation of the commercial motor carrier industry and to raise awareness of the general public about sharing the roads safely with commercial motor vehicles. In order to assist the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration with their goal of reducing fatal crashes to 0.16 per 100 million miles traveled by 2011, Georgia must reduce its 2006 rate by By implementing the plans set forth in the 2009 Commercial Vehicle Safety Plan, the Motor Carrier Compliance Division s goal is to reduce the fatal crash rate by the end of In addition, improve the quality of our data so that proper identification can be made of high risk carriers, drivers, vehicles and highways within the State. 1

4 E X E C U T I V E S U M M A R Y The Department of Public Safety is the lead agency for the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program (MCSAP) in Georgia. The Department of Public Safety s Motor Carrier Compliance Division is responsible for the implementation of, and compliance with, the MCSAP guidelines in the state of Georgia. The State is divided into nine geographic regions and one administrative region. The administrative region is comprised of the Safety Compliance Unit. The Safety Compliance unit consists of the Compliance Review division, New Entrant Safety Audit division and the School Bus Safety division. The department currently employs 246 MCCD officers and has 13 city and county law enforcement agencies who participate in the MSCAP program under the guidance of MCCD. Trends and Performance The safety and performance trends for the Motor Carrier Compliance Division are summarized in the chart below. These figures represent an analysis of FFY 2004 FFY YEAR Number of Inspections Out-ofservice vehicles Out-ofservice drivers Number of Compliance Reviews Number of Enforcement Cases Civil Penalities2 FY ,538 20,722 13, $229,750 FY ,960 18,302 11, $113,200 FY ,297 17,442 12, $350,481 FY ,142 25,758 13, $519,512 FY ,793 18,001 8, $352, YTD FFY, 10/01/ /30/ Civil penalties resulting from enforcement cases (both intrastate and interstate) Current CMV Safety Problems The State of Georgia is currently ranked, based on figures published for 2006, as fourth in the nation for fatal crashes involving a commercial motor vehicle. In order to mirror FMCSA s goal of reducing fatal crashes involving commercial motor vehicles to 0.16 by 2011, we must reduce our current rate by To achieve this goal, the MCCD must identify problem areas that contribute to crash causation and place increased emphasis of those problems identified. Areas that are currently being addressed are traffic enforcement, data quality, crash reduction, passenger carrier safety and hazardous materials. Current Evaluation and Performance As of June, 2008, the MCCD has performed a total of 64,793 inspections. A total of 18,001 out of service violations have been issued for vehicles and a total of 8,682 out of service violations for drivers. In addition, a total of 849 out of service violations have been issued for HM. The compliance review unit has conducted 276 compliance reviews which have resulted in 96 enforcement cases with civil penalties issued in the amount of $352,

5 Program Challenges Crash Reduction Statistics published by FMCSA reveals that Georgia remains fourth in the nation for the number of fatalities resulting from crashes involving commercial motor vehicles. In an effort to reduce Georgia s rate, the MCCD has placed into action several measures which we feel can provide a positive rate reduction over the next several years. Currently, crash data is disseminated to the regional level on a quarterly basis. This data is taken from the A & I website and provides the Regional Commanders with a basis for evaluation in their respected areas of crash details including crash causation factors such as time of day, day of week, etc. The Regional Commanders can then place mobile officers in strategic locations in their regions to screen and patrol those designated high crash corridor areas. Future plans include a mapping system such as GIS, updated quarterly, to further identify crash locations on interstate and other roadways throughout the state. Data Quality The MCCD unit has made great strides over the past several years to improve the quality of data provided to FMCSA. Georgia achieved a green level in 2004 with regard to timeliness and accuracy of uploads within the current timeframe. The level slipped into red when the new driver/vehicle measures were added. Georgia has worked diligently to return the level to green and is still working to improve the remaining yellow ratings. Hazardous Materials The hazardous materials program will strive to remain on the cutting edge of hazardous materials enforcement. The Department has adopted the necessary sections of Part 385 to be able to enforce the hazardous materials safety permit. The hazardous materials program has a very broad base of action and will remain active in policy changes and stay current on new trends within the hazardous materials arena. MCCD will continue to participate in the COHMED program. This level of interaction will enable the MCCD to remain up to date and proactive with any new Hazardous Materials policy changes or shifts in enforcement focus. MCCD will continue to train officers in General Hazardous Materials, Cargo Tank, and Other Bulk Packaging, as these courses are part of the MCCD career ladder. Currently, the MCCD only has jurisdiction over shippers of three kinds of hazardous materials - Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCB), Liquefied Natural Gas, and Radioactive Materials legislative changes to the Georgia Transportation of Hazardous Material Act are required in order to obtain jurisdiction to perform reviews of shippers of other hazardous materials. Because of the aggressive clean up and removal of PCB sources in the 1980s and 1990s, PCB shipping is almost non-existent now, and it is unlikely that shippers of any significance remain in Georgia. Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) does exist in Georgia and is moved here almost exclusively by pipeline. Highway shippers of this commodity may already be covered by the new FMCSA Safety Fitness Permitting rule that was published on June 30, Many, if not all, shippers of radioactive materials are exclusively private carriers; only a few exist in Georgia, and most of their main operations are based in other states. In order to initiate an effective shipper program, MCCD must address a full range of hazardous materials in its legislation and follow up with a program evaluation. The Department will also have to coordinate expanded authority with the State Fire Marshal, who already regulates possession, storage, and transfer of petroleum distillate fuels (gasoline, diesel, and kerosene), Liquefied Petroleum Gas (propane), Explosives and Anhydrous Ammonia. Once these steps have been taken, the MCCD will work towards implementing a hazardous materials shipper compliance review program. 3

6 Passenger Carrier Inspections The MCCD currently has 35 officers trained to perform safety inspections on passenger carriers. Because stopping motor coaches on the side of the road presents a safety concern for the passengers being transported and the officers conducting the inspection, the MCCD typically schedules one destination motor coach inspection per quarter. Sites such as Six Flags over Georgia in Atlanta, the Southeastern Agriculture Expo in Moultrie, and a site in Helen, Georgia are common for these types of activities. Due to the high concentration of motor coaches frequently these areas, officers are able to inspect a larger number of motor coaches in a matter of days. To further increase passenger carrier inspections, the MCCD added measures for FY 2008 and will continue in FY 2009 to identify motor coach terminals throughout the state to perform terminal inspections and to add more venue locations. The compliance review division will place special attention on conditionally-rated motor carriers and motor coach carriers. Passenger carriers will take priority for new entrant audits. Traffic Enforcement The MCCD routinely conducts traffic enforcement in identified high crash corridor areas. In addition to roving patrols, MCCD officers participate in concentrated, joint agency and alcohol/drug activities. These activities target commercial vehicle drivers engaging in unsafe driver behavior practices. The MCCD does not intend to implement a non-cmv enforcement program for FY The MCCD received a high priority grant to perform a TACT program for FY The program has been very successful and the MCCD will continue with the TACT program with a high priority grant received for FY Seat Belt Enforcement The MCCD routinely participates in State and Regional enforcement efforts, such as Click it or Ticket 100 Days of Summer Heat and Be Ready Be Buckled which emphasize the use of seat belts. Mobile officers enforce seat belt laws when violations are noted during routine traffic or inspection stops. In addition, concentrated seat belt activities are performed monthly at roadside and fixed locations. Routine observations are made at the inspection stations to determine seat belt usage and are reported quarterly. Electronic Verification of CDL Status At the current time, CDL s are being verified in 98.5% of the instances where they were required. The MCCD is currently utilizing both the Commercial Drivers License Information System (CDLIS) and the National Law Enforcement Telecommunications System (NLETS) to check the CDL status of commercial drivers during the inspection process. MCCD continues to evaluate the level of compliance with regard to CDL license checks and all necessary action is taken to ensure a high level of compliance at the officer level. In addition, the MCCD will continue to monitor and update all relevant procedures with regard to CDL license checks. Public Education and Awareness The MCCD has participated in a number of important outreach projects during the fiscal year to inform truck drivers, as well as the general public, of safety issues and how to share the roads with other vehicles. So far, the Enforcement Division has conducted 140 Safety Meetings with over 7,659 individuals in attendance to discuss safety regulations, compliance reviews, hours of service regulations, and CDL requirements. Public information officers regularly work with the Georgia Motor Trucking Association (GMTA) road team to attend courtesy inspections held at inspection stations or welcome centers throughout the state. MCCD officers assist with the inspections and distribute outreach information to the truck drivers. Officers routinely visit elementary, primary, high, and technical schools to present programs on safety or attend career days. The MCCD sets up a booth with displays and outreach material for events such as the Roadway Express Trade Expo, the Agricultural Expo, the Veterans Fair, the annual State Fair in Perry, the GMTA Truck Driving Championship, the annual Georgia Dump Truck Association s Expo and others when applicable. 4

7 Data Collection and Reporting During the course of the past fiscal year, the MCCD accomplished its goal of submitting all internal inspection data to SafetyNet electronically. All mobile MCCD officers have laptop computers and can upload their inspections electronically on a daily basis using ASPEN software; likewise, officers assigned to inspection stations utilize desktop units to upload inspections completed as part of their routine duties. However, paper reports continue to be used for training purposes or when an officer is experiencing technical problems with his/her computer. In order to reduce the inspection upload time, the MCCD will continue to promote computerization among all partner agencies and requires that all new local agencies agree to become fully computerized and upload inspections to the SafetyNet Unit on a daily basis via Aspen. Alcohol/Drug Interdiction Activities {as addressed in (q)} The MCCD will continue to implement procedures that focus on removing impaired CMV drivers from highways through adequate enforcement of restrictions on the use of alcohol and controlled substances. Officers routinely perform special DUI activities throughout the State, either alone or in conjunction with another major activity, such as a port check in the Savannah area or an air brake check in north Georgia. Frequently these activities are conducted in conjunction with other Federal, State or local enforcement agencies, such as the FMCSA, county police, or the Georgia State Patrol. MCCD officers have ready access to intoximeters, which are utilized to measure the level of alcohol in a driver s system. In addition to the units housed at each Inspection Station, each Captain and Lieutenant has been assigned an intoximeter that remains in that officer s vehicle, and the majority of mobile units carry them as well. The MCCD has deployed approximately 151 of these units to field personnel. In addition to providing this equipment, the MCCD will continue to require all of its officers to attend a two-day Impaired Driving Course when appropriate. While this course teaches officers how to use the intoximeters, it also uses live subjects to demonstrate impaired and/or suspicious behavior and teaches officers how to administer field sobriety tests. In addition to enforcing DUI laws, the MCCD will continue to conduct controlled substance interdiction activities throughout the State and ensure its entire force is adequately trained to identify suspicious cargo. These courses are taught by the El Paso Intelligence Center (EPIC) and the Drug Interdiction Assistance Program (DIAP) and are offered to new officers four to five times each year. This week-long training includes topics such as basic interdiction efforts, how to detect suspicious cargo, hidden compartments, and the most frequently used areas on the CMV's for hiding narcotics. The MCCD has two K-9 dogs and has certified two officers as K-9 handlers. Although funding for the dogs and the training was appropriated by the State legislature, these teams frequently participate in MCSAP-sponsored operations, such as port checks and DUI activities. The teams also provide interdiction/inspection assistance to local agencies throughout the State. As both officers are NAS certified, they also perform CMV inspections on a regular basis. In addition, the MCCD will continue to enforce registration (i.e. operating authority) requirements under 49 U.S.C , 49 CFR part 365, 40 CFR part 368, and 49 CFR 392.9a by prohibiting the operation of (i.e. placing out of service) any vehicle discovered to be operating without the required operating authority or beyond the scope of the motor carrier s operating authority. FY 2009 Emphasis Areas The MCCD has for many years targeted rural road areas within high crash corridor areas around the State. For FY 2009, additional emphasis will be placed on identifying specific high risk rural roads in each region. Once identified, the MCCD will increase enforcement efforts by utilizing MCCD officers and local law enforcement agencies to target these areas. For FY2009, the MCCD will increase driver-focused inspections to meet or exceed the national average of 30%. We will continue to increase traffic enforcement activities in high crash corridor areas. Although 5

8 Georgia has not utilized basic funds for non-cmv enforcement, we have been able to address non-cmv enforcement by participating in the TACT program. This enforcement activity has been very successful in the State. The MCCD will continue participation in Operation Safe Driver sponsored by CVSA and FMCSA. During these activities, increased focus will be placed on compliance of certain cargo tanks with the emergency discharge control equipment. Financial Health Governor Perdue and the Georgia General Assembly have supported the MCSAP program by continuously appropriating state funds towards this endeavor. The following information is from two references, the Governor s press statement on the status of the State of Georgia s Revenue for State Fiscal Year 2008, which ended June 30, 2008 and the stated bond rating from the State s most recent bond offering in May of Georgia continues to receive the highest bond rating (AAA) from all three bond rating services. In addition, Georgia s debt service is approximately 6% which is below the 10% maximum allowed by Georgia s constitution. Georgia s revenue shortfall is $900m or 5.2% of the net revenue collected in state fiscal year Revenue collections were flat in 2008 and are projected to continue to be flat in Governor Perdue has requested agencies to be prepared to reduce their budgets. The percentage of reduction is not known at the time of submission of the CVSP. 6

9 PROGRAM SUMMARY COMMERCIAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY PLAN The State is divided into nine geographic regions and one administrative region. The administrative region is comprised of the Safety Compliance Unit. The Safety Compliance unit consists of the Compliance Review division, New Entrant Safety Audit Division and the School Bus Safety division. The HOV unit was combined with a metro Atlanta region. The nine geographic regions each contain at least one permanent inspection station, located on a major interstate or highway. In addition to the nineteen permanent sites, the State also mans one semi-permanent inspection station in Early County. The inspection stations operate under the dual purpose of enforcing laws and regulations pertaining to the size and weight of commercial vehicles, as well as performing commercial motor vehicle inspections. The MCCD headquarters is located at the Department of Public Safety building on Confederate Avenue in Atlanta, Georgia and houses command and support staff. The radio communication staff is scheduled to move to the Confederate Avenue location by the end of August, 2008 and will be combined with the Georgia State Patrol communications unit. The Department currently employs 222 officers who have been NAS certified to perform MCSAP inspections. Of those, 9 are assigned to Compliance Reviews and 11 are assigned to New Entrant. The MCCD also has 58 officers from partner agencies who are NAS certified. In addition to the Captain and Lieutenant (s) in charge of supervising the daily operations, each of the nine geographic regions employs officers from the ranks of Sergeant First Class to cadet who serve either in a mobile or fixed-site capacity. The administrative division has a Captain and two Lieutenants and employs officers from the ranks of Sergeant First Class to Sergeant. Mobile officers work in the region where assigned and patrol the interstates, state routes, and local roadways within their specified area of operation, observing commercial motor vehicle operations in an effort to ensure safety compliance. Such patrolling activities are performed with the specific intent of targeting for inspection those commercial motor vehicles with obvious driver, vehicle, and/or hazardous material violations or those who are observed committing serious traffic violations, such as following too closely, reckless driving, and improper lane change or other driving behaviors which may endanger the motoring public. Many of these officers also carry portable scales in their vehicles and can perform size and weight enforcement in conjunction with their MCSAP inspections. The fixed site officers are assigned to work at one of the strategically located inspection stations throughout the State. In addition to size and weight enforcement, these officers visually screen commercial motor vehicles, their cargo, and their operators as they travel through or near the stationary site in an effort to ensure safety compliance. As with mobile officers, this screening activity is performed with the specific intent of targeting for inspection those commercial vehicles with obvious driver, vehicle, and/or hazardous material violations. Vehicles meeting these criteria subsequently receive a MCSAP inspection. In addition to MCCD officers, thirteen local law enforcement agencies participate in the MCSAP program. The agencies operate under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) which is renewed each federal fiscal year with the Department of Public Safety. These agencies are Cobb, DeKalb, Gwinnett, and Paulding counties, and the cities of Alpharetta, Austell, Garden City, Lawrenceville, Marietta, Port Wentworth, Roswell, Savannah Metro/Chatham and Snellville. In addition, the Georgia State Patrol has eight participating officers. These agencies supplement state activity by concentrating on commercial motor vehicle traffic enforcement in addition to performing CMV inspections. All program participants employ NAS certified officers and furnish data via Aspen uploads to the MCCD. 7

12 STATE CMV SAFETY PROGRAM OBJECTIVES CMV Crash Reduction Problem Statement: Based on crash data published on FMCSA s A & I website for 2006, Georgia ranks fourth in the nation in fatal crashes involving CMV s. Data shows that Georgia s fatal crash rate for 2006 was 0.21 per 100 million miles traveled. This exceeds the national average of per 100 million miles traveled. To reduce Georgia s fatality rate, the MCCD must identify and target the top high crash corridors in each region through out the state (see chart in data analysis and trends). Performance Objective: To reduce truck related fatal crashes on Georgia s highways to a figure at or below FMCSA s projected rate of 0.16 per 100 million miles traveled by The MCCD will implement strategies designed to reduce Georgia s fatal crash rate by 0.05 per 100 million miles traveled. This performance will be measured from crash data published in A&I in addition to Safetynet crash data. Data will be reviewed prior to sending information to each region to identify the top high crash corridor areas by county. Program Strategy: Using available crash data involving commercial vehicles, in corporation with the Georgia Department of Transportation s Accident Reporting Division, initiate the development of a statewide mapping system using GIS to identify corridors and counties experiencing a high rate of fatal crashes and increase emphasis on traffic enforcement based on data gathered from crash statistics. The MCCD will also take a pro-active approach with intrastate/interstate motor carriers identified throughout the state with a high rate of crash involvement. Activity 1.1: In corporation with the Georgia Department of Transportation s Accident Reporting Division, initiate the development of a statewide mapping system to analyze and map crash data imported into the Safetynet database. Track progress demonstrated in designing, drafting, and implementation of GIS mapping system and the distribution of the regional overlays sent to each region. Review data and mapping sent to the Regional Commanders to ensure material disseminated will be a useful tool in each region. Compare with significant crash reports compiled by the regions. The MCCD is still currently working with the Department of Transportation regarding a mapping system. In the interim, mapping is being performed from the A & I website. Activity 1.2: Identify intrastate/interstate motor carriers demonstrating the highest number of fatal and injury related crashes involving commercial motor vehicles. Subsequently, this data and information will be provided to each MCCD region. As resources allow, Region Commanders will communicate with those high risk motor carriers and offer educational and other assistance as needed. Monitor number of intrastate/interstate motor carriers identified and contacted by each MCCD region. Results will be monitored on a quarterly basis and carriers will be monitored to determine if contact from MCCD results in crash reduction. Reports are currently being run from FMCSA s A & I website and being evaluated for identification of Georgia based interstate/intrastate motor carriers. The MCCD is implementing an action plan to handle identified carriers who have a high rate of injury crashes and the subsequent dissemination of these finding to the appropriate region. 10

13 STATE CMV SAFETY PROGRAM OBJECTIVES CMV Safety Improvement Problem Statement: Performance Objective: Based on published crash data on FMCSA s A & I website for 2006, Georgia ranks fourth in the Nation in number of fatal crashes involving commercial motor vehicles. Additionally, Georgia's drivervehicle out of service rate exceeds the national average of 6.83% for drivers and 22.28% for vehicles. Currently, Georgia s out of service rate is 12.41% for drivers and 25.63% for vehicles. Therefore, proactive strategies designed to alter unsafe CMV driver behavior require implementation. To implement proactive law enforcement strategies designed to encourage CMV drivers to engage in safer driving behavior by FY Performance will be measured by citation level, civil penalty and assessment program progress. In addition, the number of Level III inspections performed based on the 37% performance output targets for FY Program Strategy: Increase driver and motor carrier accountability by increased emphasis on enforcement efforts aimed at unsafe driver and/or vehicle violations. Activity 1.1: Increase CMV driver accountability by holding those drivers who choose to place the public in danger more accountable for operating their vehicles in an unsafe manner. Enforcement action based on various factors such as driver/motor carrier safety performance history (A & I, Query Central, etc), recidivism, the dangerous nature of the violation, and national and statewide statistical data relative to crash trends and crash causation, etc. Number of uniform traffic citations issued for unsafe driver behavior and vehicle infractions. Drivers and carriers will be monitored through A& I, Query Central and Safetynet. This project is still in the planning stages and at this time there are no updates to report. Activity 1.2: Design, draft and implement a comprehensive intrastate civil penalty and assessment program aimed at increasing safety compliance among intrastate motor carriers and drivers. For FY 2008, monitor progress of the design and completion of program with plans to implement by FY The MCCD will monitor and evaluate this activity through meetings and progress of design, draft and implementation. This project is still in the planning stages and at this time there are no updates to report Activity 1.3: Increase focus on driver behavior by increasing number of Level III inspections performed in conjunction with traffic enforcement activities. Number of Level III inspections performed and violations issued during traffic enforcement activities. Monitoring will be done through FMCSA s A&I Driver Information Resource tool in addition to Query Central and Safetynet. From October 1, 2007 June 30, 2008, MCCD has performed a total of 21,565 Level III inspections. This represents 33% of the total inspections performed for the nine month period. 11

14 STATE CMV SAFETY PROGRAM OBJECTIVES Passenger Transportation Safety Problem Statement: Performance Objective: Nationally, passenger carrier (motorcoach) crashes have shown an increase of 2.8% since 2003 based on figures published on the A&I website. In response, FMCSA has encouraged states to place a heavier emphasis on reducing the number of passenger carrier (motorcoach) related crashes. To identify intrastate/interstate passenger carriers and establish a means of increasing passenger vehicle inspections such as identifying additional venues and terminal locations throughout the state. Increase compliance reviews on passenger carriers statewide. MCCD will analyze results of these activities at the end of FY 2008 in order to determine effectiveness. This performance will be measured by the number of compliance reviews conducted, and the number of terminal inspections performed. Program Strategy: Using available data identify passenger carrier vehicles domiciled within the state and other venues visited by these vehicles with a high tourism rate that will provide a basis to increase number of passenger vehicle inspections. Increase compliance reviews on passenger carriers. Activity 1.1: Increase compliance reviews on conditionally-rated passenger carriers and identified passenger carriers. Number of compliance reviews performed as noted in section 3 of the National Program Elements Compliance and Enforcement. Monitoring will be handled through the Regional Commanders monthly report. From October 1, 2007 June 30, 2008, compliance review officers have performed 3 compliance reviews on passenger carriers. Activity 1.2 Identify passenger carrier terminal locations throughout the state and perform safety inspections on vehicles located at such terminals. Divide locations throughout the state by regions and perform inspections based on the number of passenger carrier (motor coach) certified officers per region. Number of passenger carrier inspections. Number of MCCD officers certified to perform passenger carrier inspections. Monitoring will be made from Regional Commanders monthly reports. Terminal locations have been identified and a total of 151 inspections have been performed from October 1, 2007 June 30, Activity 1.3: Identify at least two additional venues in the state to perform concentrated motorcoach activities. Venues identified and number of inspections performed. Monitoring will be made from Regional Commanders monthly report. The World Congress Center in Atlanta has been slated as an additional venue for a motorcoach activity. 12

15 STATE CMV SAFETY PROGRAM OBJECTIVES CMV Safety Data Quality Problem Statement: Performance Objective: Measures in the State Safety Data Quality published in FMCSA s Analysis and Information system indicates that Georgia is rated green overall. In addition, Georgia has been rated as good in crash accuracy since June, The MCCD will strive to maintain a green status through June, 2009 and reduce the 1.57% in non-match to less than 1%. Retain a good rating in both crash and driver/vehicle identification for FY MCCD will measure all data quality performance from the A & I website on a monthly and quarterly basis. Program Strategy: MCCD will work with the Georgia Department of Transportation s Accident Reporting Unit to incorporate driver/vehicle measures into the crash data imports and will place increased emphasis on the crash accuracy measure. Activity 1.1: With the assistance of the Georgia Department of Transportation, incorporate additional driver/vehicle information into the crash data imports performed bi-monthly. Number of CMV accidents reports with driver/vehicle information Monitoring will be made through the Safetynet crash data module. From October 1, 2007 June 30, 2008, the Safetynet staff has worked diligently on the driver/vehicle measures and has moved the State status from red to green. Activity 1.2: Perform non-match searches on individual CMV accident records searching for all available motor carrier information. Locate and identify correct motor carrier identification. Monitoring will be made through the Safetynet crash data module. The Safetynet staff has reduced the percentage of non-match on crash data to 1.57%. Activity 1.3: Develop a reporting system to automatically identify errors in crash data as it is imported into the Safetynet database. Number of errors and corrections identified. The Safetynet staff will continue to monitor reporting errors on the 15 th and 30 th of each month. The Safetynet staff in conjunction with the Georgia Department of Transportation has identified errors and missing information in crash data. This report is printed on the 15 th and 30 th of each month and corrections are made accordingly. 13
