Truck Safety: States' Progress in Testing and Licensing Commercial Drivers: Rced-90-78

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed federal and state efforts to implement the Commercial Motor Vehicle Safety Act of 1986.
GAO found that: (1) at least 33 states indicated that they would have difficulty testing and licensing commercial truck drivers by the April 1, 1992 deadline; (2) most states experienced problems in making computer changes needed to connect to the national driver information system; (3) the Federal Highway Administration (FHwA) did not develop specific action plans to ensure that states established commercial driver's license (CDL) programs and completed testing and licensing on time; (4) FHwA needed measures to ensure that drivers were not unduly penalized because states failed to meet the deadline; and (5) as of October 1989, only two states were testing and licensing commercial drivers under the new standards.
