The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is part of the U.S. Department of Transportation (US DOT), and is located in Washington, DC. The FMCSA is responsible for the issuance, administration, and enforcement of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs), 49 CFR Parts 325, 350, 382-399, the Hazardous Materials Regulations, 49 CFR Parts 100-180, as well as Part 40 as it pertains to the drug and alcohol testing requirements.
The overall goal for the FMCSA is to improve the safe transportation of passengers and goods on the U.S. highways, through a coordinated effort of federal, state, and industry organizations to reduce fatalities, injuries, property damage and hazardous materials incidents.
Motor carriers are required to comply with these regulations. Safety compliance and safe operations translate into saved lives and property. We believe that the information on this web site, when applied properly, will contribute to safer motor carrier operations and highways.
The FMCSA web site provides guidance for basic compliance with the FMCSRs, but it is not intended to be a substitute for these
regulations.
