Research documents critical role of association membership in motor carrier safety
A recent study by the American Transportation Research Institute (ATRI) shows that trucking association members have fewer overall crashes and violations than former and non-members.
New, empirical research utilized public safety data analyzed through statistical tools to confirm the relationship between association membership and safety performance.
It has always been anecdotally assumed that association membership supports safety through a variety of association services and resources, but the necessary industry safety data and methodology had never before been assessed. This new empirical research processed public safety data from the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) through a series of statistical tools to confirm the relationship between association membership and safety performance.
A free copy of the report is available online at the ATRI website.
