Is the Crash Indicator available for public view?
Answer
There is no current plan to make the Crash Indicator Behavior Analysis and Safety
Improvement Category available for public viewing. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety
Administration is currently examining crash data to see if weighting can be applied
in a cost effective manner. Details about this research can be found here:
