focus their resources on strategic safety investments, to
increase administrative flexibility, to strengthen enforce-
ment activities, to invest in activities related to areas of
the greatest crash reduction, to identify high risk carriers,
and to improve information and analysis systems. This
subchapter provides funding to ensure that the Secretary,
States, and other political jurisdictions establish program
baselines and benchmarks to evaluate overall motor carrier
safety program effectiveness. Other activities eligible for
funding include enforcement of motor carrier safety regu-
lations, analytic activities, operations of motor carrier and
driver information systems, and improvements to driver
288
HR 1268 IH1S
programs. Such activities will provide the means necessary
to—
‘‘(1) reduce motor carrier crashes and promote
safe commercial vehicle operations of for-hire and
private carriage as well as passenger and hazardous
materials transportation;
‘‘(2) develop and continue to enforce effective,
compatible, and cost-beneficial commercial motor ve-
hicle safety regulations and practices as well as em-
phasize enforcement of State and local traffic safety
laws and regulations;
‘‘(3) develop comprehensive motor carrier safety
programs and projects to advance technologies and
operational practices, information systems, and data
which support a safe, efficient, and economical
transportation system;
‘‘(4) ensure continued improvement in driver
performance and meet the objectives of the Nation’s
drug and alcohol requirements;
‘‘(5) ensure the appropriate level of training;
and
‘‘(6) assess Statewide program performance and
compliance activities by implementing improved
problem identification and planning, setting program
outcome goals, designing appropriate performance
289

performance information, and monitoring program
activities.’’;
