This new law includes many important provisions intended to help the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration in its important mission to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. Many of the provisions in MAP-21 track the Agency's strategic framework to improve commercial motor vehicle safety by supporting its three core principles: 1. Raise the bar to enter the industry and operate on our roads; 2. Hold motor carrier and drivers to the highest safety standards to continue operations, and 3. Remove the highest risk drivers, vehicles, and carriers from our roads and prevent them from operating.]--U.S. Dept. of Transportation Web site.
