The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has announced that its Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee will hold a two-day public meeting later this month to “discuss and analyze data to support the potential benefits and feasibility of voluntary compliance and ways to credit carriers and drivers who initiate and establish programs that promote safety beyond the standards established in FMCSA regulations.” 

The meeting will be held March 30-31 from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT at the Hyatt Regency Crystal City in Arlington, Virginia. Entirely open to the public, the event will include a public-comment period at the end of each day.

According to FMCSA, copies of the MCSAC Task Statement and an agenda for the meeting will be made available in advance of the meeting at: http://mcsac.fmcsa.dot.gov.
