Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act

The Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act (MCSIA) is a U.S. law aimed at enhancing safety in the trucking industry. It establishes stricter regulations for commercial motor carriers, including requirements for safety performance, maintenance, and driver qualifications. The Act also mandates the use of safety technology and encourages training programs to reduce accidents and improve overall road safety. By holding trucking companies accountable for their practices, the MCSIA aims to protect both drivers and the public from the risks associated with large commercial vehicles.
