NTSB Safety Recommendations H-09-30 and -31

************************************************************

The NTSB makes the following recommendations to the National

Highway Traffic Safety Administration:

Develop, in conjunction with the Federal Motor Carrier

Safety Administration, a Web-based database of FMVSS-

compliant passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicles that

can be utilized by federal, state, and local enforcement

inspection personnel to identify non-FMVSS-compliant

passenger-carrying commercial motor vehicles so that these

vehicles (other than exempted vehicles) are placed out of

service and cease operating in the United States. Implement

a process to periodically update this database. (H-09-30)

When the database requested in Safety Recommendation H-09-30

is completed, make the database known and accessible to

state vehicle registration agencies and to federal, state,

and local enforcement inspection personnel for their use

during roadside inspections and compliance reviews to

identify non-FMVSS-compliant passenger-carrying commercial

motor vehicles. (H-09-31)
