Your rating is

Good (100-85)

Why is This My Rating?
Your Inspection Timeliness rating is good because your percentage is between 85-100%.
How is This Calculated?
96% of your State's evaluated inspection records were reported within 7 days of the inspection. These inspections were first uploaded between 08/01/2023 and 07/31/2024. Learn more about how this rating is calculated.
Data Source: MCMIS inspection records for 12 months representing interstate and intrastate carriers, and includes large trucks and buses. Note: FMCSA experienced system issues from July 8 to July 20, 2018 that may have caused a delay in State SAFETYNET record uploads. As a result, States will not be held accountable for late records during this time - only records reported on-time will count towards the State Timeliness measure.

The Inspection 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 inspection 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. Inspections that were uploaded after April 30, 2022, were used to calculate the leading indicator.

evaluation period

This measure evaluates inspection records representing interstate and intrastate carriers, and includes large trucks and buses.

The 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 inspection records reported within 7 days is:

  • 85% or more, the rating is GOOD
  • Between 65% and 84%, the rating is FAIR
  • Less than 65%, the rating is POOR.
