The FMCSA’s Crash Preventability Determination Program represents a significant advancement in how commercial vehicle accidents are evaluated and documented. Through this program, carriers can request reviews of specific crash types to determine if they were preventable or non-preventable, potentially improving their safety records. The program’s expansion since 2020 has included new eligible crash types and refined documentation requirements, making it more comprehensive and accessible to the transportation industry. With features like video evidence requirements and specific criteria for various crash scenarios, the program continues to evolve to meet the industry’s needs while maintaining high standards for safety and accountability.
