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.

How to Enter and Submission 

Requirements: Interested persons 

should read the Official Rules before 

entering the Competition. All 

Contestants must submit their product 

through the Challenge.gov portal. Please 

note, in order to submit a product, 

Contestants will first need to register 

and create an account with 

Challenge.gov. 

Submission Format: There are two 

basic steps for entry: 

1. Create an interesting online or 

mobile application product (product) 

and accompanying summary: Select a 

topic that addresses the goal area of 

Motorcoach Safety Data Utilization and 

create an interesting product that 

demonstrates an innovative method of 

using FMCSA data to inform the general 

public about motorcoach safety. Access 

to FMCSA data is described below 

under Data Sources. Entries must 

include the use of all 5 Behavior 

Analysis and Safety Information 

Categories (BASICs) described below. 

Data from additional government and/or 

other appropriate sources may be used 

in creating the product. You must 

identify specific data sources used. 

Entries may not rank motorcoach 

companies using any number, letter, 

color or icon system. Develop a 

summary of the product that explains 

your topic, how the entry improves a 

decision based on the general public’s 

understanding of your topic, and what 

conclusions can be drawn from the 

application. The summary must not 

exceed 650 words. 

2. Submit your entry: Prior to 

submitting a product, register on 

Challenge.gov. Registration is free. From 

the Competition Web page on 

Challenge.gov, use the ‘‘Enter a 

Submission’’ tab to submit the 

description of the online or mobile 

application, and provide a link to a fully 

functioning application hosted outside 

of Challenge.gov. Submissions may be 

updated by the submitter until the 

Challenge Submission Period ends. 

After submission, all products may be 

screened by FMCSA for malicious code 

or other security issues. Screened 

submissions will be posted on the 

Challenge.gov competition Web page on 

a rolling basis. Products failing to meet 

Submission Requirements or other 

Submission screenings will be deemed 

ineligible to win. Posting a product to 

the Competition Web site does not 

constitute FMCSA’s determination of 

Contestant or the online or mobile app’s 

eligibility. 

An entry into the Challenge consists 

of your product and accompanying 

summary to the U.S. DOT (together, the 

‘‘Entry Materials’’). All Entry Materials 

must be in English. All requested 

information must be provided for your 

entry to be valid. 

Submission Content: Using data sets 

including those provided by the U.S. 

DOT, create a product that provides 

information to motorcoach travelers and 

addresses one or more of FMCSA’s core 

priorities. 

1. Raise the bar for motorcoach 

carriers to enter the industry 

2. Maintain high safety standards to 

remain in the motorcoach industry 

3. Remove high-risk motorcoach 

operators from our roads and highways 

Data Sources: FMCSA is providing 

access through Application 

Programming Interfaces (APIs) to data 

from its License and Insurance (L&I) 

system and the Motor Carrier 

Management Information System 

(MCMIS). The FMCSA API is available 

at https://mobile.fmcsa.dot.gov/ 

developer. 

The L&I system is a client-server and 

web-based application used to enter and 

display licensing and insurance 

information regarding authorized forhire motor carriers, freight forwarders, 

and property brokers. It is the 

authoritative source for FMCSA 

licensing and insurance data. The 

MCMIS includes data from FMCSA’s 

Safety Management System (SMS). The 

data provided in SMS uses all safety 

violations discovered at roadside, 

weights each one based on its crash risk,

Submission may be disqualified if the 

application fails to function as 

described in the description provided 

by the Contestant, or if the application 

provides inaccurate information. 

10. Security—Submissions must be 

free of malware. Contestant agrees that 

FMCSA may screen the application to 

determine whether malware or other 

security threats may be present. FMCSA 

may disqualify the online or mobile 

application if, in FMCSA’s judgment, 

the entry may damage government or 

others’ equipment or operating 

environment. 

11. Standards of Conduct—All 

Competition submissions must also 

adhere to the Challenge.gov Standards 

of Conduct at http://challenge.gov/ 

terms#standards. 

Judging: Prior to judging, all 

submitted products will be screened for 

Contestant eligibility, completeness of 

submission and malicious code. The 

members of the Judging panel will be 

selected by FMCSA at its sole discretion 

and will be comprised of up to ten 

federal employees. Judges will be 

screened by FMCSA to ensure they do 

not: (1) Have personal or financial 

interests in any Contestant; or (2) have 

a familial relationship with a 

Contestant. The panel will judge the 

Entry Materials (product and summary 

text) on the judging criteria identified 

below in order to select the awardees. 

Judges have the right to withdraw 

without advance notice in the event of 

circumstances beyond their control. 

Challenge submissions will be scored 

in each of four criteria, as listed below: 

1. Creativity and aesthetics of 

application. Like artwork, products 

should be designed to capture the 

attention of the user through creative 

use of visuals, layout, and animations (if 

applicable). How original and attractive 

is the product? 

2. Success in translating data sets into 

relevant information. One aspect of the 

application is its potential to synthesize 

multiple, large datasets to deliver 

relevant and actionable information to 

the user in an innovative compelling 

way. How well does the product 

accomplish this? Does the product 

accomplish the goal while including 

data from each of the 5 BASICs? 

3. Relevance to the goal area of 

crafting a marketplace that can better 

access and utilize motorcoach safety 

data. Does the author’s submission 

contribute to crafting a marketplace that 

can better access and utilize available 

bus safety data? Does the product 

accomplish the goal without creating a 

ranking system? 

4. Demonstrated value in assisting 

decision makers. Does the information 

presented in the product and summary 

shed new light on a transportation issue 

that would otherwise not been known? 

All Decisions by the U.S. DOT are 

Final and Binding in All Matters Related 

to the Challenge. 

Verification of Potential Winners: 

Potential winners must continue to 

comply with all terms and conditions of 

these Official Rules and winning is 

contingent upon fulfilling all 

requirements. The potential winners 

will be notified by email, telephone, or 

mail after the date of the judging. The

award(s), up to two winning awardees 

will be recognized at a U.S. DOT or 

industry event to be determined. 

Authorized travel expenses will be paid 

for an individual contestant who wins 

or up to two members of each winning 

team to attend the event. If a winning 

team consists of more than two 

individuals, the team must designate the 

two individuals who will represent the

opinions, and/or hometown and state 

for promotional purposes in any media, 

worldwide, without further payment or 

consideration. 

General Conditions: The U.S. DOT 

reserves the right to cancel, suspend 

and/or modify the Challenge, or any 

part of it, if any fraud, technical failures 

or any other factor beyond the U.S. 

DOT’s reasonable control impairs the 

integrity or proper functioning of the 

Challenge, or any other reason as 

determined by the U.S. DOT in its sole 

discretion. The U.S. DOT reserves the 

right in its sole discretion to disqualify 

any individual or Contestant it finds to 

be tampering with the entry process or 

the operation of the Challenge or to be 

acting in violation of these Official 

Rules or any other promotion or in an 

unsportsmanlike or disruptive manner. 

Any attempt by any person to 

deliberately undermine the legitimate 

operation of the Challenge may be a 

violation of criminal and civil law, and, 

should such an attempt be made, the 

U.S. DOT reserves the right to seek 

damages from any such person to the 

fullest extent permitted by law. The U.S. 

DOT’s failure to enforce any term of 

these Official Rules shall not constitute 

a waiver of that provision. 

Limitations of Liability: The 

Contestant shall be liable for, and shall 

indemnify and hold harmless the 

Federal government against, all action 

or claims, including but not limited to 

those for loss of or damage to property 

(such as damage that may results from 

a virus, malware, etc. to DOT computer 

systems or those of the end-users of the 

software and/or applications), resulting 

from the fault, negligence, or wrongful 

act or omission of the Contestant. 

However, based on the subject matter 

of the Competition, the type of work 

that it will possibly require, and the 

likelihood of any claims for death, 

bodily injury, or property damage, or 

loss potentially resulting from contest 

participation, Contestants are not 

required to obtain liability insurance or 

demonstrate fiscal responsibility in 

order to participate in this Competition. 

The Released Parties are not 

responsible for: (1) Any incorrect or 

inaccurate information, whether caused 

by Contestants, printing errors or by any 

of the equipment or programming 

associated with or utilized in the 

Challenge; (2) technical failures of any 

kind, including, but not limited to 

malfunctions, interruptions, or 

disconnections in phone lines or 

network hardware or software; (3) 

unauthorized human intervention in 

any part of the entry process or the 

Challenge; (4) technical or human error 

which may occur in the administration 

of the Challenge or the processing of 

entries; or (5) any injury or damage to 

persons or property which may be 

caused, directly or indirectly, in whole 

or in part, from Contestant’s 

participation in the Challenge or receipt 

of recognition or travel funds. If for any 

reason a Contestant’s entry is confirmed 

to have been erroneously deleted, lost, 

or otherwise destroyed or corrupted, 

Contestant’s sole remedy is another 

entry in the Challenge. No more than 

the stated number of winners will be 

recognized. 

Original Work, Plagiarism, and 

Copyright: Contestant or teams warrants 

that he, she, or they are the sole 

author(s) and owner(s) of the 

Submission, and that the Submission is 

wholly original with the Contestant or
