AI Summary

  • Urges Congress to encourage the FMCSA Administrator to modify Crash Indicator BASIC regulation standards to only count crashes where the driver was at fault.

  • Explains that the FMCSA uses the Safety Measurement System (SMS) to assess commercial motor vehicle carriers across seven categories including Unsafe Driving, Crash Indicator, Hours-of-Service Compliance, Vehicle Maintenance, Controlled Substances and Alcohol, Hazardous Materials Compliance, and Driver Fitness.

  • States that current Crash Indicator data includes all state-reported crashes regardless of the carrier's or driver's role, creating an inaccurate and potentially damaging portrayal of otherwise safe carriers and drivers.

  • Directs the House Clerk to transmit authenticated copies of the resolution to Congress leadership, the President, Ohio's Congressional delegation, and Ohio news media.
