Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) data restored following system downtime
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has confirmed a technical error during its daily updates on September 16, causing a temporary disruption in the availability of crucial data related to safety in the trucking industry.
The unavailability of the data, which includes company census files, crash files, inspections per unit, citations, and more, has affected users' ability to access this information on the FMCSA website. As a result, most links to the affected records are no longer functional.
The issue has raised questions about the reasons behind the data unavailability. The FMCSA has stated that a specific person or technician involved in the error during the daily updates and the repair has not been publicly disclosed.
However, the good news is that the data is operational as of 11:23 am ET, September 17. A user named @garret_makes reported via DM that the previously unavailable data is now accessible.
This unavailability of the data was crucial for a grassroots effort to scrutinize safety in the trucking industry. Garrett Allen, who posted about the unavailability of the daily updated datasets on X, stated that monthly snapshots are not as helpful.
The FMCSA manages the data in question, and the issue affects users' ability to access data related to safety in the trucking industry. Users have reported the removal of these documents on social media on Tuesday.
A fix has been applied to resolve the technical error causing the data unavailability. The FMCSA has confirmed that the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) website no longer provides several types of daily updated public carrier data.
This incident underscores the importance of timely and accurate data in ensuring the safety of the trucking industry. The FMCSA is continuing to investigate the cause of the technical error and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
