National Trends

FMCSA relies on its State partners to provide crash and inspection data each month. Improving the quality of every State’s safety data will result in a more effective use of our Nation’s enforcement resources.

National Trends: Inspection VIN Accuracy Measure

The national Inspection VIN Accuracy measure results show the number of States within each rating. A State’s VIN accuracy rating is based on the percentage of the State’s evaluated inspection records that have a valid VIN for the first vehicle unit. These inspections were first uploaded between 12/01/2022 and 11/30/2023. Learn how this rating is calculated.

Why this matters

Accurate VINs help FMCSA associate inspections to the right vehicle, which can help prioritize carriers or drivers for interventions that pose the greatest safety risk.
