Truck Accident Resources

National Crash Statistics

Crash Statistics are summarized crash statistics for large trucks and buses involved in fatal and non-fatal crashes that occurred in the United States. These statistics are derived from two sources: the Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS) and the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS). Crash Statistics contain information that can be used to identify safety problems in specific geographical areas or to compare state statistics to the national crash figures.

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)

As part of the U.S Department of Transportation (DOT), the NHTSA is a national agency for the prevention of motor vehicle accidents and death injuries.

US Department of Transportation - Federal Highway Administration

The top-level official at FHWA is the Administrator, who reports directly to the Secretary of Transportation. FHWA is headquartered in Washington, DC, with field offices in every State, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), a modal administration within the U.S. Department of Transportation, regulates and supports the Nation's interstate commercial carrier industry. FMCSA's primary mission is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses.

American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)

AASHTOs goal must be to make the system work better, safer, and smarter, to both save lives and save time for our citizens. There is no single solution to this challenge, there are many, from the rapid clearing of traffic accidents, to advising motorists of traffic tie-ups or weather delays, to improving highway work zones for the safety of both drivers and workers.

Truck Accident Crash Information (A&I)

A&I provides information on truck crash statistics, program measures, NAFTA safety stats, passenger carrier safety, analysis results and reports, and much more.

The Truck Safety Coalition is a partnership between The Citizens for Reliable and Safe Highways (CRASH) Foundation, and Parents Against Tired Truckers (P.A.T.T).

Share The Road Safely Association

The Share the Road Safely program strives to improve the knowledge of all highway users to minimize the likelihood of a crash with a large truck, and reduce the consequences of those that do occur. The goal of FMCSA is to reduce commercial motor vehicle crash fatalities on the Nation's highways to 1.65 fatalities per 100 million miles of truck travel by 2008.

American Truck Historical Society

The American Truck Historical Society was formed to preserve the history of trucks, the trucking industry, and its pioneers.

Chartered in 1992 at GW's School of Engineering and Applied Science, the NCAC primarily supports the U.S. Department of Transportation's (USDOT) strategic goal to reduce fatalities and injuries on the Nation's roadways, but has served to enhance efforts to improve safety worldwide.
