To focus Agency resources and reduce crashes, FMCSA relies on our State partners to provide accurate, comprehensive data. Each month, FMCSA rates States on their reporting of safety data. This page allows States to view their ratings and measures and learn how to improve data quality performance.
The Crash Timeliness measure evaluates 12 months of data to determine your State's rating. A record is evaluated if the date of the initial upload falls within that 12-month range, regardless of when the crash event occurred. As shown below, the range begins 15 months before the evaluation month, but excludes the most recent three months of records. These records were used to calculate the leading indicator, which forecasts where measures may be trending.
In the example, the July 2022 evaluation looks at 12-months of uploads from May 1, 2021, through April 30, 2022. Crashes that were uploaded after April 30, 2022, were used to calculate the leading indicator.
This measure evaluates fatal and non-fatal crash records representing interstate, intrastate, and non-motor carriers, and includes large trucks and buses.
The rating percentage of timely records is determined by dividing the number of records reported on time by the number of total records evaluated. If the percentage of crash records reported within 45 days is:
