The mission of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is to
improve truck and bus safety on our nation's highways. Our primary goal for
measuring our success in accomplishing this mission is to reduce larger
truck-related fatality rate 41% from 1996 to 2008. This reduction
translates into a rate of 1.65 fatalities in truck crashes per 100 million
miles of truck travel. Although deaths and injuries due to exposure to
hazardous materials in transportation are not included in the calculation
of truck-related fatalities or injuries, FMCSA has an important secondary
goal [DOT Strategic Goal] to reduce the number of serious hazardous
materials transportation incidents 20% by 2010 from the level of such
serious incidents in fiscal year 2000. In addition, FMCSA also wishes to
reduce the security risks of hazardous materials that could potentially be
used to harm the public and environment. Developing programs to accomplish
this secondary goal is the responsibility of the FMCSA Hazardous Materials
(HM) Program.
