Evaluation of Montana's New Entrant Safety Assurance Program Phase I

摘要

The State of Montana is participating in a pilot program with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) in which New Entrant interstate motor carriers are provided free third-party training before their initial required safety audits. The training is intended to directly improve the New Entrants' compliance with safety regulations and indirectly improve actual safety. This report details a project designed to provide an independent evaluation of Montana's New Entrant Safety Assurance Program (NESAP) and to suggest ways to improve the program.
