The Department of Public Safety's Motor Carrier Safety Division is a vital aspect to the Mississippi Highway Patrol. MCSD Officers work in conjunction with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT), and other law enforcing agencies across the state in an effort to promote commercial vehicle safety and security.
The MCSD works in accordance with the statutes and regulations issued by the FMCSA.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration was established as a separate administration with the U.S. Department of Transportation on January 1, 2000, pursuant to the Motor Carrier Safety Improvement Act of 1999. Their primary mission is to reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities involving large trucks and buses. FMCSA is headquartered in Washington, DC. They employ more than 1,000 individuals, in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, dedicated to improving bus and truck safety and saving lives. | |
