MCMIS Catalog and Documentation
Description and Available Reports
| Available Reports | Description |
| File Extracts | For each type of report (Census, Crash, Inspection, etc.) the File Extract contains the essential, basic data. For example, Census File Extracts draw their data from MCMIS, which contains demographic and safety information on all active commercial motor carriers and HM shippers. Crash File Extracts contain data from State reported crashes. For further information on each File Extract, consult the appropriate documentation. |
| Personalized Reports | You can personalize some reports to meet your own specialized needs. For example, you can tailor Personalized Reports to include specific data elements, or to focus on specific years, or to include specific carriers. Census and Crash reports can be personalized in slightly different ways, so consult the proper documentation to decide which way best suits your needs. |
| Count Reports | While other MCMIS reports display the contents of specified records and various data elements, Count Reports display numbers only. For instance, a Crash Count Report simply shows how many crashes fall into the categories you specify, while a Census Count Report shows how many carriers fall into the categories you specify. Each report type (Census, Crash, etc.) can be counted in different ways, so consult the proper documentation to decide which way best suits your needs. |
| Other(s) | The Company Safety Profile (CSP) report contains composite extracts regarding a specified carrier from the MCMIS Census, Review, Enforcement, Crash, and Inspection Files -- the last includes the results of roadside driver-vehicle inspections conducted by Federal and State safety agencies. Because it combines information from many sources, the CSP is the most complete and in-depth report on an individual carrier available. |
| CRASH FILE EXTRACT | Top | |
| This extract contains data describing the commercial vehicle crashes reported to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). Crashes are grouped by the calendar year in which they occurred. Currently, the state-reported crash file elements are available from the years 1989 to present. | |

| PERSONALIZED CRASH REPORT | Top | |

You can tailor this report to meet your own specialized crash data needs.
The Personalized Crash Report contains basic information on federally recordable
individual commercial-vehicle crashes, plus up to four data elements
of your choice.
A "recordable" crash is one that has a fatality, an injury requiring medical attention away from the scene of the crash, or a vehicle towed away. Crashes are grouped by the calendar year in which they occurred. Currently, MCMIS contains crash data, as reported by state personnel, for the years 1989 to present. You decide which year(s) your report should cover (you may specify up to three years), which crashes within those years are to be included, and the order in which crashes are to appear in the report. For guidelines and examples of how to do this, see How to Order a Personalized Report. | |

| CRASH COUNT REPORT | Top | |

While other
MCMIS reports display the contents of specified census or crash
records, the Crash Count Report simply shows how many federally recordable crashes fall

You specify which crashes should be counted and how they should be grouped, using data elements from the State-Reported Crash File elements. For example, you could request that crashes which occurred in Vermont during 1994 be grouped and counted according to the time of day and the day of the week in which they occurred. For additional examples and guidelines on formulating your request, see How to Order a Count Report. |
