The Analysis and Information Online page has four basic components:

* Crash Profiles Online, containing large truck crash statistics for each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
* OMCS Program Performance Measures Online with analysis of the effectiveness of roadside inspections and compliance reviews in preventing future truck crashes.
* Current Truck Safety Analysis Online, featuring analyses of truck safety issues such as drug and alcohol testing results and new entrant safety.
The OMCS Web site address will be www.fmcsa.dot.gov when the new Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is established in January. Meantime the address is wwww.mcs.dot.gov. Click on A and I for the new page.
