State Data
Data-driven safety systems are vital to informing decisions that improve safety on the Nation’s
roads—FMCSA relies on the States for accurate and comprehensive data on eligible crashes and
inspections to focus resources to further reduce crashes. We can’t do it without you.
Each month, States are rated on reporting of safety data—this page provides States
with a robust resource to view their ratings and measures, and learn how to improve
data quality performance.
Data current as of September 23, 2016
Measures: Inspection VIN Accuracy
99% of your State’s evaluated inspection records have a valid VIN for the first vehicle unit. These inspections occurred between 07/01/2015 and 06/30/2016. Your rating is good because your percentage is greater than or equal to 85%.
Learn how this rating is calculated.
Why this matters
Accurate VINs help FMCSA associate inspections to the right vehicle, which can help prioritize carriers or drivers for interventions that pose the greatest safety risk.
What to do next
Make sure that you understand this measure and your State's rating. Use the following analysis reports to identify and address issues that could be affecting your data quality. Remember, even good ratings often have room for improvement.
