Data Quality identifies FMCSA resources
for evaluating, monitoring, and improving the quality of data submitted by States
to the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS).
The State
Safety Data Quality (SSDQ) evaluation has been modified by expanding the number
of measures evaluated and modifying the criteria for other measures and the Overall
State Rating. The results of these modifications are reflected in the map displayed
below. Review the SSDQ methodology for a complete
explanation of the modifications.
Evaluation
State Safety Data
Quality (SSDQ)
States are rated on a monthly basis on the completeness, timeliness, accuracy, and
consistency of State-reported crash and roadside inspection data in MCMIS.
Monitoring
Supplemental Reports State and Federal agencies can monitor their MCMIS and DataQs activity for State-reported
crash and roadside inspection data provided to the FMCSA.
Improvement Tools
State Data Analysis Reports State Data Analysis Reports that support the State Safety Data Quality (SSDQ) evaluation and the individual measures.
FARS/MCMIS Matching A tool designed to help reconcile differences between the number of fatal crash records in the FARS and MCMIS databases.
