Issue Brief
The
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the
Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) are agencies within the U.S. Department of Transportation that support state and local governments in the design, construction, and maintenance of the Nation’s highway system and various federally and tribal owned lands. These groups also work to prevent commercial motor vehicle-related injuries and fatalities as well. SC&RA works to educate FHWA and FMCSA on the viewpoints of its carrier members and how the decisions that these groups make can adversely affect the safe, productive and overall profitability of moves across the US.
