SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The Agency believes that developers, 

small businesses, and the general public 

would make better use of FMCSAcollected data if it were available in a 

more versatile and user-friendly format. 

To that end, FMCSA announces the U.S. 

DOT Motorcoach Safety Data Utilization 

Student Challenge, pursuant to the 

America COMPETES Act (15 U.S.C. 

3719), to engage student developers to 

create methods for the traveling public 

to more meaningfully make use of 

motorcoach safety data. Up to two 

winning student-developed applications 

or Web sites for mobile devices will be 

showcased at a U.S. DOT or industry 

event. FMCSA will release motorcoach 

safety data in the form of Application 

Programming Interfaces (APIs) to 

facilitate participation. 

The goal of the Challenge is to make 

FMCSA’s motorcoach safety data easier 

to understand and to promote wider use 

among consumers, stakeholders, and 

policy-makers across the country. 

Through increased accessibility and use, 

the Agency seeks to help the traveling 

public make more informed decisions 

when choosing motorcoach carriers. 

II. Subject of Challenge Competition 

The goal of the U.S. DOT Motorcoach 

Safety Data Utilization Student
