| FMCSA substantially met Mexican truck safety criteria
OIG: FMCSA substantially met Mexican truck safety criteria Quote: 
The OIG cited two areas where it felt FMCSA had not totally met the criteria — having adequate capacity at the southern border to conduct meaningful inspections and having sufficient databases to allow safety monitoring of Mexican carriers and drivers.
WASHINGTON — The Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Transportation said in a report released today that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) had either met or “substantially” met the safety criteria set forth in a 2002 appropriations act related to Mexico-domiciled motor carriers potentially operating beyond narrow commercial zones along the border.
The report, required by the 2002 act, was released today.
The OIG cited two areas where it felt FMCSA had not totally met the criteria — having adequate capacity at the southern border to conduct meaningful inspections and having sufficient databases to allow safety monitoring of Mexican carriers and drivers.
With respect to the inspection capacity, the IG wrote: “The capacity to perform truck, bus and driver inspections are in place, but FMCSA needed to include bus inspections during peak hours, such as holiday periods, at Laredo, Texas.”
